Is sacrifice necessary for a complete relationship with the Creator? The answer is both complicated and simple. Yes, we must sacrifice our human desire to sin and that can often be more than we are willing to give. Psalm 57:16—17, “For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”
