What devotion does God want from us?

Devote yourself to God.  Offer your life to Him.

Why did God command Abraham to offer his son Isaac to Him?

Wasn’t it because Isaac was the most precious son to Abraham?

The meaning was that God asked him, “Do you love Me more than your son Isaac?”

John 21:15 – “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”

God wants us to offer our most precious and beloved person to Him.

God wants to be always first in our lives.

Is God really the first in our lives?

But in the days of the prophet Malachi,the Israelites offered “defiled food,”

“the blind for sacrifice,” “the lame and sick” and “what was taken by robbery” (Mal. 1:7-8, 13).

God didn’t receive these offerings (vv. 8, 10, 13).

Not only that, God didn’t receive the Israelites who offered these offerings (v. 9).

Those who sincerely praise ‘There is nothing more precious than the Lord Jesus’

offer the most precious and the beloved person to Him

like Abraham offered his precious and beloved son Isaac to God.

And they offer by faith in trusting that “The Lord Will Provide” (Gen. 22:14).
