For the Law but shadowing forth the good things to come, and not having the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come with them perfect.

But in these sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins every year. read more.

Romans 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, wellpleasing to God, which is your spiritual worship; and be not conformed to the fashion of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that ye may learn by experience what is the will of God, what is good, and wellpleasing, and perfect.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15

Romans 14:14-23

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him that accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. For if on account of food thy brother is made to mourn, thou art no longer walking according to love. Do not with thy food destroy him for whom Christ died. Let not then the blessing which ye enjoy be evil spoken of. read more.
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; for he who in this matter serveth Christ is wellpleasing to God, and approved by men. Let us then strive to promote peace, and the edification of each other. Do not for the sake of food undo the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but that which is pure is evil for that man who eateth so as to be an occasion of sin. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is put in danger of falling, or is made weak. Thou hast faith; have it to thyself before God. Happy is he who doth not condemn himself in that which he alloweth. But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because he doeth it not from faith; but every thing which is not from faith is sin.

1 Corinthians 8:1-13

Now concerning the things offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth; if any one think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet, as he ought to know; but if any one love God, the same is known by Him. read more.
Concerning the eating of the things offered in sacrifice to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. For though there are those that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many; yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. But there is not in all men this knowledge; for some, with a conscience directed toward the idol even now, eat of it as a thing offered in sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. But food will not recommend us to God; if we do not eat, we are not the worse; nor if we do eat, are we the better. But take heed, lest this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak. For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idols temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat the things offered to idols? For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth,the brother for whom Christ died! But when ye so sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if food cause my brother to fall, I will eat no flesh for ever, lest I cause my brother to fall. Am I not free?

1 Corinthians 10:14-33

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? the loaf which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ? read more.
For we, the many, are one loaf, one body; for we all share in that one loaf. Look at Israel by natural descent. Have not those who eat of the sacrifices, communion with the altar? What do I say then? That what is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? Or that an idol is anything? Nay, but that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons; ye cannot be partakers of the Lords table, and the table of demons. Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all things are not edifying. Let no one seek his own pleasure, but the good of others. Whatever is sold in the market that eat, without asking questions for the sake of conscience; for "the earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof." And if one who is an unbeliever inviteth you to a feast, and ye choose to go, eat whatever is set before you, without asking any questions for the sake of conscience. But if any one say to you, This hath been offered in sacrifice to an idol, do not eat of it, on account of him that showed you this, and from a regard to conscience; conscience I mean, not thine own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty to be judged by another conscience [than my own]? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I to be evil spoken of in a matter for which I give thanks? Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give no occasion of stumbling either to Jews or Greeks, or to the church of God; as I also strive to please all in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many; that they may be saved.

Hebrews 13:12-16

Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us then go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach; for here we have no abiding city, but are seeking that which is to come. read more.
Through him therefore let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips giving thanks to his name. But works of kindness and liberality forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Sacrifice » What is better than sacrifice

Mark 12:28-33

And one of the scribes came up, having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which commandment is first of all? Jesus answered, The first is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." read more.
The second is this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." There is no other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said to him, In truth, Teacher, thou hast well said, that He is one, and that there is no other but he; and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love ones neighbor as ones self, is more than all the whole burntofferings and the sacrifices.

Revelation 5:6-13

And I saw, between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders, a Lamb standing, as if it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twentyfour elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. read more.
And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed to God by thy blood men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and hast made them a kingdom and priests, and they reign on the earth. And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and those which are on the earth and under the earth, and on the sea, and the things in them, I heard them all saying, To him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever.
