That will please the Lord more than offering him cattle, more than sacrificing a bull with horns and hoofs.
Those people honor me who bring me offerings to show thanks. And I, God, will save those who do that.”
Come back to the Lord and say these words to him: “Take away all our sin and kindly receive us, and we will keep the promises we made to you.
So through Jesus let us always offer to God our sacrifice of praise, coming from lips that speak his name.
You also are like living stones, so let yourselves be used to build a spiritual temple—to be holy priests who offer spiritual sacrifices to God. He will accept those sacrifices through Jesus Christ.
