Obedience Over Sacrifice

Contributed by Greg Johnson on May 6, 2007

Why is obedience more important to God than sacrifice? Obedience is more important than sacrifice because we can sacrifice without loving God, but we obey God because we love Him. Jesus said (John 14:15 NIV) "If you love me, you will obey what I comman
