Kinds of sacrifice
There are two kinds of sacrifices. There are those we are forced to make or force others to make and then there are those sacrifices we choose to make out of love for other.
Saved by the blood
The sacrifice of Christ was a voluntary sacrifice of Himself that others "might be saved".[1]
People often turn the "sacrifice of Christ" and °the blood of Jesus" into a repeated sound bite, a religious chant,often to conjure up an emotional feeling or verification of their own self-righteousness but they do not understand the true meaning of His blood.
They want you to repeat those favorite religious phrases because of the ideas they associate with them. That is often merely their faith in an idea or [[ideology] or a religious doctrine, but that may not be a sound doctrine.
If they did understand the true meaning of His blood sacrifice they would repent of their own selfish iniquity and they would seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
But we do not see them doing that.
They do not become Doers of the word nor keepers of His commandments.[2]
Many modern Christians nstead of laying down their life daily like Christ these false Christians remain workers of iniquity, often biting one another, saying Lord, Lord, but not doing what Christ said to do. They do not want to see the truth about themselves nor that voluntary sacrifice made by Christ so that you 'might be saved"[1] but they only want say the words, recite there favorite religious phrases which have become the idols of their false religion.
They say they accept the blood of Christ but in truth they are far from Him.
They take His name in vain when they say they are Christian but not do as he said. The sacrifice of Christ is real but their faith in it is false. We know this by what they do, by their covetous practices, by their hatred of the light of the truth. Like the Pharisees who said they had Moses but who did not know him, the modern Christian says they trust in the blood but still won't let go of their Corban, their entitlements, and their cities of blood
Can we give up the idolatry of modern religion to receive the truth of the gospel of the Kingdom of God and His righteousness?
Can we give up our will to do God's will?
Can we give up pride for humility, comfort and convenience for righteousness?
Many people give up rights for benefits.
In some ancient cultures domestic animals were part of the life blood of society. The phrase life blood of society is a metaphor that expressing the idea that owning domestic animals was an essential element to survival in society.
Were the Altars of ancient societies and the ritual killing of animals just and allegory and metaphor of customs that actually had a practical social purpose? Were the altars of Clay and Stone symbols of systems that provided a social service that bound society together.
This was understood by the Essenes who read the Torah. They understood the Sophistry of Sacrifice.
Even the sacrifice of the Red Heifer was merely a metaphor for foreign aid. The only true sovereign is God but God has given us choice from the beginning. We may eat from, or be guided by, one of two Trees. One is the Tree of Life and the other of our own Knowledge of Good and Evil. Gods are ruling judges. We will wait upon the LORD or serve other gods by making Contracts, Covenants and Constitutions with them to obtain their Grace and Benefits.
If we join "a federation [which] may result in the sacrifice of sovereignty", our personal right to choose, or our liberty of choice we may be required to sacrifice or serve the gods many of the World. That service and allegiance comes in many forms including; taxation, military service, and even service in civilian work projects.
So have we sacrificed our liberty for comfort, for the wages of unrighteousness?
Have we looked to be Saved by Benefactors of the World and the Fathers of the earth who with One purse take from each of our neighbors bringing us closer to damnation as Merchandise through our Covetous Practices?
Have we returned to Bondage of Egypt in a Corvee system through a Corban that makes the word of God to none effect, like the pig returning to the mire?
What are we really Saved by?
Christ died that we "might be saved"[1] but not without our repentance.
Do we have real Faith in Christ without Probity of The Way of Christ who came to serve and save others?
Are we gathering to save others or just ourselves?
Do we love others as much as ourselves, value other peoples life as much as we value our own?
Is not our Faith dead without works of Jesus Christ in our life?
If we do not daily sacrifice for others in service of righteousness then we do not have true faith in Christ or The Way and we are not saved by His grace.
God will give
Exodus 6:4 "And I have also established my covenant with them, to give[3] them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers."
The word give[3] in V4 appears in a variety of forms throughout the Bible. In Deuteronomy 7:3 we see Marriages[4] is not ChetTavNun חָתַן chathan but is TavTavChetTavNun תִתְחַתֵּ֖ן ṯiṯ-ḥat-tên which is about making contracts, covenants and constitutions with them in Spirit and Truth because of the double Tav.
In Deuteronomy 7:5 we see a word for destroy but not from shamad ShinMemDalet[5] nor Abad AlefBeitDelat[6] nor charam ChetReishMem[7] which are the most common Hebrew words translated destroy.
Here the word destroy reated to altars nathats formed with the Hebrew letters NunTavTzadik.[8] But in the text we see tit-tō-ṣū (תִּתֹּ֔צוּ) formed with the letters TavTavTzadikVav, again containing the Double Tav which means to not just destroy the form of their altars with violence but with the "Spirit and Truth" which only comes with faith in The Way of God which is the way of righteousness.
In Mark 7: 10- 13 Corban or (Sacrifice) which should be a Gift to God through charity explained by John the Baptist, not by force like Herod and the Pharisees.Even King Saul foolishly thought he could obtain the sacrifices of the people by force and reap the same results; that is to say ( רצון לתת Ratzon La’Tet), "by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free of charge.” But Samuel told him that was foolish and for that reason his kingdom would not stand.
To take away the right of your neighbor to choose to give in the liberty of true charity is the foolish and covetous practices that will entangle the people in the yoke of bondage.[9]
There are well over a hundred variation in the Hebrew text for this word give[3]. In Exodus 6:4 and 8 we see the word La’tet is written Lamed-Tav-Tav לתת, also with a double Tav and us said to mean to give which includes the will to receive on condition. We see the words I will give assigned the Strongs number 05414 which is normally nâthan, NunTavNun[3] but in the text of verse 8 we see a second variation of La’tet appear as wənāṯattî with the letters VavNunTavTavYod (וְנָתַתִּ֨י ) with another double Tav which means that Israel must be willing to accept the gift on the conditions of their conformity to the righteousness of God in "Spirit and Truth".

- John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
