Allah does not desire sacrifice

Key verses
  • Psalm 51:16-17: "For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. The sacrifice [acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart [broken with sorrow for sin, thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise".
  • Hosea 6:6: "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings".

  • Psalm 40:6-8: "In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required".
  • Micah 6:8: "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?".

The well well guarded is the well well giving.
