How do we know that spiritual sacrifices are accepted by God?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual sacrifices are accepted by God because they are offered through Jesus Christ, our High Priest.

The acceptance of spiritual sacrifices by God is fundamentally tied to their mediation by Jesus Christ. As stated in 1 Peter 2:5, these offerings are 'acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.' This means that the value of our praise and good deeds does not come from our own merit but from the perfect and finished work of Christ. Under the old covenant, sacrifices were offered by earthly priests; similarly, all spiritual sacrifices today find their acceptance through our great High Priest, Jesus, who intercedes for us. Therefore, apart from Christ, no action can hold weight in God’s eyes, highlighting the necessity of His mediating work.
