And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:16
Sacrifices to God have always consisted of giving up our best to the Lord. Originally it was the finest lamb, or the first fruits of the harvest. Today our sacrifices may consist of giving up only caring about ourselves, and looking to the needs of others. Doing good and sharing involves seeing, caring, and helping others. This pleases God. As stated in Matthew 25, "When you did it to the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me." A sacrifice for them is a sacrifice for God.
