I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings. Hosea 6:6

But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the Lord: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I do not delight in burnt offerings and sin offerings.” I the Lord take pleasure in those who fear me, in those who hope in my steadfast love. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” Matthew 9:13
