Why is it essential to offer sacrifices to God and not to men or angels?
Answered in 1 source
Sacrifices must be directed to God alone to honor His justice and to acknowledge Him as the only source of salvation.
In Judges 13, Manoah is instructed that any sacrifice must be offered to Jehovah, not to men or angels. This principle underscores the uniqueness of God's holiness and justice, as well as the need for our worship and service to be directed solely towards Him. Offering sacrifices to any other being trivializes God's greatness and undermines the sufficiency of Christ's sacrificial work intended for God's honor. The New Testament reiterates this concept, emphasizing that Christ's sacrifice was made to God, fulfilling His plan for salvation. Consequently, it is vital for Christians to ensure that their worship and sacrifices are pure and directed towards God.
