Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike looks at 1 Samuel 15 and Saul’s belief that
he and his men could disobey God as long as they offered Him a sacrifice
afterward. Samuel responds with the powerful words, “To obey is better than
sacrifice,” reminding Saul that God desires a heart that listens and obeys
Him. We live on this side of the cross, where our sins are forgiven through
Christ’s sacrifice, but that grace does not make obedience optional—it
gives us the freedom and desire to obey. Are we using God’s grace as an
excuse for disobedience, or are we responding to His sacrifice with a life
of faithful obedience?
