| By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice. (Heb. 11:4) |
| Noah builded an altar unto the Lord … and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled a sweet savor. (Gen. 8:20‑21) |
| After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord God of their fathers. (2 Chron. 11:16) |
Forbid it, Lord, that we should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, our God;
All the vain things that charm us most,
We’d sacrifice them to His blood. |
Were the whole realm of nature ours,
That were an offering far too small;
Love that transcends our highest powers
Demands our soul, our life, our all. |
