What sacrifice does God want instead of an animal or our own blood?
God wants the sacrifice of praise to Him continually, not an animal or our own blood. He desires the fruit of our lips—spoken praise and thanksgiving—offered all day, every day. This is the living sacrifice He seeks first and foremost, satisfying Romans 12.
Les teaches that the sacrifice God is looking for is not an animal and not our own blood, but the sacrifice of praise to God continually, the fruit of our lips. He explains that with lips we speak, and God wants to hear our lips speak praise and thanksgiving to Him all day, every day. This is the living sacrifice God seeks first and foremost. Les adds that a believer offering lips of praise seven days a week will also start accomplishing things for God; it works hand in glove. He says not to let it stop with lips of praise, because this living sacrifice is holy—set apart—and will move on into other areas of life.
