Unit 7: Perfecting Our Lives
Chapter 26: Sacrifice
Concept 3: We Still Must Sacrifice
"Even though blood sacrifice was ended, the Lord'still asks us to sacrifice. But now he requires a different kind of offering. He said: "Yea shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood ,... and your burnt offerings shall be done away.... and ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit" (3 Nephi 9:19-20). A "broken heart and a contrite spirit" means that we offer deep sorrow for our sins as we humble ourselves and repent of them.
Discussion
How do we observe the law of sacrifice today?"
3 Nephi 9:19-20
"19 And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood; yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings.
20 And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost, even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not."
