Sacrifice (3)
New Testament references to the blood of Christ are regularly sacrificial (e.g., Rom 3:25; 5:9; Eph 1:7; Rev 1:5). As a perfect sacrifice for sin (Rom 8:3; Eph 5:2; 1Pet 1:18–19), Christ's death was our redemption (i.e., our rescue by ransom: the paying of a price that freed us from the jeopardy of guilt, enslavement to sin, and expectation of wrath; Rom 3:24; Gal 4:4–5; Col 1:14)
J.I. Packer
Concise Theology, Tyndale House, 1354.1K
Jesus's self-sacrifice for us is the example of love that believers are to emulate as they walk in love. While they will not be able to duplicate his self-sacrifice—since they cannot die an atoning death for the sins of others—they may nevertheless imitate his example as they exercise love that is self-sacrificial, costly, and offered for the sake of others' well-being.Pillar Commentary, Ephesians
The son that loves his father will obey him. Obedience pleases God. 'To obey is better than sacrifice.' 1 Sam xv 22. In sacrifice, a dead beast only is offered; in obedience, a living soul; in sacrifice, only a part of the fruit is offered; in obedience, fruit and tree and all; man offers himself up to God.The Ten Commandments, 79
