Subject: What is our sacrifice of praise to God? |
Bible Note: Hi glory777, Thanksgiving and being thankful is important for this verse for sure. Another verse that goes along with it is Hebrews 12:28, "Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;..." God wants us to come to Him with words of praise and confession. One of the references in the Study Bible has Hosea 14:2. "Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to Him, "Take away all iniquity, And receive us graciously, That we may present the fruit of our lips." If it was paraphrased with an optional reading from the NASB and an ending from the NKJ it could read, "Take away all iniquity, And accept that which is good, For we will offer the sacrifices of our lips." Another optional reading of Hebrews 13:15 from the Study Bible would read, "confess thanks". Even if we don't feel in the mood of praise, if we confess our iniquity and return to the Lord as Hosea says, then we are praising Him in thanksgiving. Another word that I see in these passages is "through". We are seeking a lasting ciy, Heb 13:14, we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, Heb 12:28; "through Him* then,"... 1Peter 2:5 is referenced, "to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.*" And another verse that is of interest is 1Peter 1:22, "Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through* the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again,..." NKJ The God of peace is "working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through* Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." Hebrews 13:21 |
