What is the sacrifice of praise that Hebrews says we offer to God?
Hebrews presents the sacrifice of praise as the work of the lips—spoken words of praise directed to God. It is verbal worship offered from the lips. This is what He is looking for, because bringing praise to His glory is the purpose of everything.
Les explains that in Hebrews, the writer speaks of offering unto Him the sacrifice of praise, and he identifies that sacrifice as the work of my lips, which is praise to God. This ties back to Ephesians 1, where believers are predestined according to God's purpose and are to be to the praise of His glory. Les emphasizes that the reason believers are left here and given breath day after day is to bring praise to His glory. He says this is what God is looking for, and that praise to God is the whole purpose of everything.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
