New Testament Teaching on Obedience and Sacrifices In the New Testament, Christ Jesus our Lord affirmed and continued His Holy Father’s teachings from the Old Testament. Christ Jesus proclaimed that His Holy Father, who is the living God of Heaven, wants our faithful obedience and love to Him from our pure hearts and doing His will with love, fairness, and mercy towards others, particularly the helpless, poor, and widows, more than any offerings, sacrifices, fasts, feasts, and religious rituals. Significantly, Christ Jesus’ prayers and His teachings on the Sermon on the Mount, His Sermon on the Plain (Plateau), and throughout the New Testament were teaching His disciples to live like Kingdom citizens in the world with the good fruits of love and peace and to lead everyone to worship and obey the Covenant King - the living God of Heaven. Christ Jesus taught that everyone who follows and obeys His Holy Father and His commands also does the will of God and becomes His fellow brother and sister inside the Kingdom of God. Moreover, Christ Jesus our Lord taught that our faithful obedience to Him and His Holy Father’s commands and teachings helps us establish a strong and firm foundation (rock) with God that weathers the storms and troubles of life. Here is the Good News: Christ Jesus taught His disciples that they can always pray and ask His Holy Father for help with everything and anything, including obeying His Holy Father’s commands and receiving divine wisdom. Christ Jesus promised that His Holy Father blesses His disciples with every good gift, including the good gift of the Holy Spirit of God to empower, teach, and help them live holy and pure lives as He and His Holy Father command. Furthermore, Christ Jesus our Lord promises to make and declare believers in Him holy (sanctified) and righteous through repentance with faithful obedience to Him and His teaching. Christ Jesus is God with us, and He promises to be forever present with His disciples so that they are never alone and helpless. Everything is possible for those who trust and believe by faith in Christ Jesus as Lord. This is not to say that offerings, tithes, sacrifices, fasting, ceremonies, various feasts, and rituals are not important to the living God of Heaven because He first created them in the Old Testament. However, the living God of Heaven makes the sacrifices and offerings for sins given in the Old Testament obsolete and set aside because He sent His Son Christ Jesus by His grace to serve as the final ransom, sacrifice, and payment to cleanse and atone for sin (past, present, and future) as the Passover Lamb of God and to provide salvation and redemption to the world when Christ Jesus died and freely gave His life on Calvary’s Cross. Christ Jesus’s perfect life and sinless blood now purifies and cleanses us from ALL sin, darkness, and shame through repentance (turning from Satan’s evil and selfish living) and faithful obedience to Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. Christ Jesus (Messiah Yeshua) is our forever Lord and Savior. The Apostle Paul picks up on the Old Testament theme of sacrifices when he encourages believers of Christ Jesus to offer their lives and bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to the living God of Heaven as our true and proper worship and service in view of God’s tender mercy and blessings given through His Son, Christ Jesus. In his teaching, the Apostle Paul taught believers in Christ Jesus not to provide merely external rituals and ceremonies to the living God of Heaven, but to live good, loving, and holy lives with morality and integrity, wholeheartedly devoted in worship and obedient service by faith to the living God of Heaven. Our grateful worship and praise to the living God of Heaven with thanksgiving and good works for Him and His glory are our “sacrifices” and “offerings” that please Him. Importantly, the living God of Heaven, along with His Son, Christ Jesus our Lord, and the holy prophet, taught that various offerings, tithes, sacrifices, ceremonies, fasting, and feasts are worthless without first repentance and a right heart relationship of loving obedience and faithfulness towards the living God of Heaven, and love with mercy, forgiveness, and goodness toward others. No sacrifice, offering, fasting, ceremonies, rituals, and feasts are significant for forgiveness or salvation without first a repentant and humble heart to the living God of Heaven that turns from selfish (sinful) living and also loving-kindness with forgiveness and kindness towards others. The living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth revealed His moral and ethical character for everyone to follow and obey at Mount Sinai with His eternal covenant, which included the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament. Christ Jesus our Lord continued His Holy Father’s moral and ethical teaching on the Sermon on the Mount and His Sermon on the Plain (Plateus) in the New Testament for ...
