How do we know if our sacrifices please God?

Answered in 1 source

Our sacrifices please God only when they are based on faith in Christ's perfect sacrifice, not on our own works.

Understanding the nature of pleasing sacrifices requires a grasp of the centrality of Christ's work. The Apostle Paul emphasizes that all our attempts to satisfy God through our deeds fall short of true acceptance. There is one acceptably perfect sacrifice: Jesus Christ. In Hebrews 10:12, we see that Christ's sacrifice was made once for all, and it is through faith in Him that we are declared clean and justified before God. If our belief is in our works or sacrifices, we merely add more sin to our already sinful state, which is contrary to God's holy requirements.
