"But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort ? for all things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee." (i Chron. 29:14.)

It is beautiful to see the grace with which we are brought to give God His own. Three sacrifices are to be offered by God's priests(a class that embraces every believer, young or old):

1. Themselves.-The apostle beseeches, and that "by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your intelligent service." (Rom. 12:I.) For "ye are not your own; ye are bought with a price:therefore glorify God in your body." (i Cor. 6:20.) See for example 2 Cor. 8:5-they "first gave their own selves to the Lord."

2. Their Worship.-As holy priests, " to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." " Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me," says Jehovah. '.' By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually," etc. (Heb. 13:15.)

3. Their Goods.-"But to do good and to communicate [1:e., of your substance-Gal. 6:6; i Tim. 6:18] forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." (Heb. 13:16; Phil. 4:18.)
