class="qu"><strong>1-3.</strong> (a) Did Jesus’ death on the torture stake mean that Jehovah no longer required any kind of sacrifice from us? Explain. (b) What question arises with regard to sacrifices today?</p> <p id="p7" data-pid="7" data-rel-pid="[32]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="1"></span>IN THE first century C.E., Jehovah revealed to his people that Jesus’ ransom sacrifice had abolished the Mosaic Law. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Col. 2:13, 14</a>) All the sacrificial offerings that the Jews had been making for hundreds of years were no longer necessary and no longer had any value. The Law had fulfilled its function as a “tutor leading to Christ.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Gal. 3:24</a>.</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8" data-rel-pid="[32]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="2"><strong><sup>2</sup></strong></span> That is not to say that Christians are no longer interested in sacrifices. On the contrary, the apostle Peter spoke of the need to “offer up <em>spiritual</em> sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">1 Pet. 2:5</a>) Moreover, the apostle Paul had made it clear that a dedicated Christian’s life—every aspect of it—may appropriately be considered “a sacrifice.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Rom. 12:1</a>.</p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" data-rel-pid="[32]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="3"><strong><sup>3</sup></strong></span> So, then, a Christian makes sacrifices for Jehovah, either by offering up certain things to him or by giving up certain things for him. On the basis of what we know about the requirements that existed for the Israelites, how can we be sure that all our sacrifices today are acceptable to Jehovah?</p> <p id="p10" data-pid="10" class="ss"><strong>IN EVERYDAY LIFE</strong></p> <p id="p33" data-pid="33" class="qu"> <strong>4.</strong> What must we remember about everyday activities of life?</p> <p id="p11" data-pid="11" data-rel-pid="[33]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="4"><strong><sup>4</sup></strong></span> As we go about our everyday lives, it might seem difficult to relate our activities to making sacrifices for Jehovah. Housework, schoolwork, secular work, shopping, and the like might on the surface seem to have little to do with spiritual concerns. However, if you have dedicated your life to Jehovah or hope to do so in the near future, then the spirit <span id="page22" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="22" data-before-text="22"></span>with which you approach mundane activities is important. We are Christians 24 hours a day. Scriptural principles need to be applied in every aspect of our lives. Hence, Paul urged us: “Whatever you are doing, work at it whole-souled as to Jehovah, and not to men.”—<strong><em>Read</em></strong> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b"><strong><em>Colossians 3:18-24</em></strong></a><strong><em>.</em></strong></p> <p id="p34" data-pid="34" class="qu"><strong>5, 6.</strong> What considerations should affect our everyday dress and conduct?</p> <p id="p12" data-pid="12" data-rel-pid="[34]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="5"><strong><sup>5</sup></strong></span> A Christian’s day-to-day activities are not part of his sacred service. Yet, the fact that Paul urges us to work “whole-souled as to Jehovah” makes us think about our entire course of life. So how might we apply this to ourselves? Do we act and dress with proper decorum at all times? Or while engaging in day-to-day activities, might we be embarrassed to identify ourselves as Jehovah’s Witnesses, either because of the way we behave or because of the way we dress? Never may that be! Jehovah’s people would not want to do anything that might reflect badly on God’s name.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">Isa. 43:10;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/6/1" data-bid="7-2" class="b"> 2 Cor. 6:3, 4,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/6/2" data-bid="7-3" class="b"> 9</a>.</p> <p id="p13" data-pid="13" data-rel-pid="[34]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="6"><strong><sup>6</sup></strong></span> Let us examine how a desire to work “whole-souled as to Jehovah” affects a number of different areas of life. As we do so, bear in mind that all sacrifices that the Israelites presented to Jehovah had to be the very best they had.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">Ex. 23:19</a>.</p> <p id="p14" data-pid="14" class="ss"><strong>HOW YOUR LIFE IS AFFECTED</strong></p> <p id="p35" data-pid="35" class="qu"> <strong>7.</strong> What is involved in Christian dedication?</p> <p id="p15" data-pid="15" data-rel-pid="[35]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="7"><strong><sup>7</sup></strong></span> When you dedicated yourself to Jehovah, you made that decision without reservation, did you not? In effect, you said that in every aspect of your life, you would put Jehovah first. <strong>(<em>Read</em></strong> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b"><strong><em>Hebrews 10:7</em></strong></a><strong><em>.</em>)</strong> That was a good decision. Doubtless you have seen that when you seek Jehovah’s will in a matter and strive to work in harmony with it, the results are excellent. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/9/0" data-bid="10-1" class="b">Isa. 48:17, 18</a>) God’s people are holy and joyful because they reflect the qualities of the One who instructs them.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/10/0" data-bid="11-1" class="b">Lev. 11:44;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/10/1" data-bid="11-2" class="b"> 1 Tim. 1:11</a>.</p> <p id="p36" data-pid="36" class="qu"> <strong>8.</strong> Of what significance is it to us that Jehovah considered ancient sacrifices to be holy?</p> <p id="p16" data-pid="16" data-rel-pid="[36]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="8"><strong><sup>8</sup></strong></span> The sacrifices that the Israelites made to Jehovah were considered to be holy. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/11/0" data-bid="12-1" class="b">Lev. 6:25;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/11/1" data-bid="12-2" class="b"> 7:1</a>) The Hebrew term translated “holiness” conveys the idea of separateness, exclusiveness, or sanctification to God. In order for our sacrifices to be acceptable to Jehovah, they must be separate from and uncontaminated by worldly influences. We cannot be loving any of the things that Jehovah hates. <strong>(<em>Read</em></strong> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/12/0" data-bid="13-1" class="b"><strong><em>1 John 2:15-17</em></strong></a><strong><em>.</em>)</strong> Clearly, this means that we have to avoid any associations or involvements that would defile us from God’s point of view.

Paul called this essential Christian activity “a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips which make public declaration to [God’s] name.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/17/0" data-bid="18-1" class="b">Heb. 10:23;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/17/1" data-bid="18-2" class="b"> 13:15;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/17/2" data-bid="18-3" class="b"> Hos. 14:2</a>) Much could be said about the quantity and quality of the time that we spend preaching the good news of the Kingdom, and many Service Meeting parts are designed to stimulate our thinking on this matter. Briefly stated, however, since our field service and informal witnessing activities are “a sacrifice of praise,” a part of our worship, that sacrifice should be of the very best that we can offer. While circumstances vary, the amount of time that we devote to announcing the good news often reflects our appreciation for spiritual things.</p> <p id="p20" data-pid="20" data-rel-pid="[38]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="11"><strong><sup>11</sup></strong></span> Christians regularly spend time in private or group worship. Jehovah requires us to do so. It is true that we no longer have to observe a strict Sabbath rest or make regular trips to festivals in Jerusalem. However, those ancient observances do have their counterparts in Christian life. God still expects us to desist from dead works and to study his Word, pray, and attend Christian meetings. And Christian family heads take the initiative in conducting family worship with the members of their own <span id="page24" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="24" data-before-text="24"></span>households.

That envoy of the Philippians evidently carried with him a monetary gift from the congregation. This was not the first time that the Philippians had shown generosity to Paul. By their kindness they intended to free Paul of financial worries so that he could devote more time to the ministry. How did Paul view the gift? He called it “a sweet-smelling odor, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.” <strong>(<em>Read</em></strong> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/23/0" data-bid="24-1" class="b"><strong><em>Philippians 4:15-19</em></strong></a><strong><em>.</em>)</strong> Paul truly appreciated the Philippians’ kind gesture, and so did Jehovah.</p> <p id="p24" data-pid="24" data-rel-pid="[40]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="14"><strong><sup>14</sup></strong></span> Likewise today, Jehovah deeply appreciates our contributions to the worldwide work.

Is it not true that we should thank him each day for the gift of life? He gives us all that we need to sustain ourselves—food, clothing, and shelter as well as every breath that we take. Moreover, our faith, based on accurate knowledge, gives us hope. It is appropriate that we worship Jehovah and offer sacrifices of praise to him, simply because of who he is and what he has done for us.—<strong><em>Read</em></strong> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2012045/25/0" data-bid="26-1" class="b"><strong><em>Revelation 4:11</em></strong></a><strong><em>.</em></strong></p> <p id="p42" data-pid="42" class="qu"><strong>16.</strong> How should we respond to Christ’s ransom sacrifice?</p> <p id="p27" data-pid="27" data-rel-pid="[42]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="16"><strong><sup>16</sup></strong></span> As we have seen in the preceding article, an especially precious gift of God to mankind is Christ’s ransom sacrifice.

Still others have engaged in Kingdom construction projects. Are not these excellent ways to show one’s appreciation?

But she found no satisfying answers in either. Only when she began studying the Bible with Jehovah’s Witnesses was her spiritual thirst quenched. Morena was so grateful for the Scriptural answers to all her questions and for the stability that those answers gave to her life that she wanted to thank Jehovah by using all her energies in his service.
