SPIRITUAL SACRIFICE
A spiritual sacrifice is the consecrated offering of the believer’s life and service to God. It includes praise, obedience, mercy, generosity, doing good, and sharing with others rather than merely performing outward ritual.
Biblical Usage
Believers are described as offering spiritual sacrifices and living sacrifices. Praise, Christian benevolence, mercy, knowledge of God, doing good, and sharing are presented as preferable to merely material or outward sacrifice.
