Summary
God desires more than mere financial offerings or religious activities; the primary offering He seeks is our entire body. Jesus demonstrated this by pointing to His body as the ultimate sacrifice, choosing to do the Father's will rather than His own. Believers must understand that true devotion involves controlling the body's actions, specifically the eyes and tongue, rather than relying on external religious performance.

What does God ask for in the New Testament?While the Old Testament required a tenth of income and animal sacrifices, the New Covenant focuses on a different offering altogether.Hebrews 10:5
A body you prepared for meWhen Jesus came into the world, He stated that God did not primarily desire burnt offerings and sacrifices, but prepared a body for Him to do the Father's will.
Presenting our eyes and our tongue to GodThe New Covenant requires presenting small parts of our body like our eyes and our tongue to God, ensuring we do not use them to lust or hurt others.
The mistake of looking at outward religionPeople often mistake strict, long-bearded religious men for godly individuals, but Jesus warned that such outward religion can be on the path to destruction.
Depart from me, you who practiced sinMany will point to external activities like casting out demons and preaching in Jesus' name, but Jesus will reject those who lived in sin and used their bodies to commit iniquity.
Taking God's warnings seriouslyAttending church and believing doctrines will not save people if they ignore God's warnings and continue yielding their eyes and tongues to sin.
Gratitude expressed by giving our bodiesBecause God has given us health and tremendous blessings, we must show our gratitude by giving our bodies to live for Him rather than ourselves.
