Sacifice Brings the Blessing of Heaven

Sacrifice means giving to the Lord whatever He requires of our time, our earthly possessions, and our energies to further His work. Today we are told to sacrifice unto God a broken heart and a contrite spirit” (3 Nephi 9:19–20). A “broken heart and a contrite spirit” means that we offer deep sorrow for our sins as we humble ourselves and repent of them. If we are to be a living sacrifice, we must be willing to give everything we have to Jesus Chris and His true church

Only through sacrifice can we become worthy to live in the presence of God. Only through sacrifice can we enjoy eternal life. We cannt be saved without it. If we arent willing to give up for the Lord how do youk think God will judge us. Many who have lived before us have sacrificed all they had. We must be willing to do the same if we would earn the rich reward they enjoy.
