[FlSnookman7]

6 Amplified
With what shall I come before the Lord [to honor Him]
And bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
7
Will the Lord be delighted with thousands of rams,
Or with ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I present my firstborn for my acts of rebellion,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8
He has told you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
Except to be just, and to love [and to diligently practice] kindness (compassion),
And to walk humbly with your God [setting aside any overblown sense of importance or self-righteousness]?

 

[FlSnookman7]

Pretty much the whole new covenant there in three verses hundreds of years prior to the cross. What an awesome God we serve!

 

[Shamah]

Psalm 40:6-8, “Sacrifice and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my ears; Burnt offering and sin offering You did not ask for. Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me. I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Strength, And Your Torah is within my heart.”

1 Samuel 15:22, “Then Shemu’ĕl said, “Does יהוה delight in ascending offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of יהוה? Look, to obey is better than sacrifice, to heed is better than the fat of rams.”

Proverbs 21:3, “To do righteousness and right-ruling Is more acceptable to [FONT=Times\ New\ Roman]יהוה [/FONT]than a slaughtering.”

Matthew 9:12-13, "And יהושע hearing this, said to them, “Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means, ‘I desire compassion and not offering.’ For I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.”

Hosheyah 6:6, “For I delight in loving-commitment and not slaughtering, and in the knowledge of the Mighty One more than ascending offerings.”

And to walk humbly with your God [setting aside any overblown sense of importance or self-righteousness]?

Humbly with our GOD would be walking in HIS ways and not sinning.

Psalm 40:6-8, “Sacrifice and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my ears; Burnt offering and sin offering You did not ask for. Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me. I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Strength, And Your Torah is within my heart.”

Then He said, "Lo, I come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first in order that He may set up the second; by which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And indeed every priest stands day by day ministering, and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But He, offering but one sacrifice for sins, "sat down" in perpetuity " at the right hand " of God, from then on expecting "until His enemies are placed as a footstool" of His feet. (Psa. 110:1) For by one offering He has perfected in perpetuity the ones being sanctified. And the Holy Spirit witnesses to us also. For after having said before, "This is the covenant which I will covenant to them after those days, says the Lord: Giving My laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds;" (Heb 10:9-16 LITV-TSP)

Humbly with our GOD would be walking in HIS ways and not sinning.

I believe true humbleness would be relying on God and what He has done for us.

In that what you say is true; for GOD has said, I will put my laws into the hearts and in our minds shall I write them.

 

[Gabriel2020]

This cover all the sacrifices written in the old testament in a spiritual form. Presenting your bodies to God as a living sacrifice, Holy, and acceptable to God. This is what caused Israel to reject God. their sacrifices and offerings was no longer acceptable to God. They refused to be holy in the sight of God., and there was only one way God could change that and that was to Send his only begotten Son. To die for the sins of this world and pour out the Holy spirit that would cause man to walk in his statues, and his ways.

Humbly with our GOD would be walking in HIS ways and not sinning.

Humbly to you is following the law.

Micah 6:6-8

6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Wow, I really saw this part very clearly in the spirit of the words, when I never had before: shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the transgression of my soul?

I suddenly saw myself as my first born self. And the fruit of my body as my own efforts and sacrifices.

That's what I saw too!

And relying on Him for what He CONTINUES to do for us and in us!
