Isaiah pens a powerful verse...."no more vain offerings". 1 Timothy 3:16 says that," All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. -ESV
The question to ask ourselves is, how can Isaiah 1:13 train us in righteousness? Romans 12 sheds some light on this answer. Paul writes:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. - Romans 12:1-2 KJV
Our whole lives are to be a sacrifice, dedicated to the Lord because of our love for Him. It's not just about what we bring to the Lord like the Old Testament sacrificial system, but about who we are for the Lord. Like a flower in the snow or in the desert, you can bloom for Him right where you are.
Christ sacrificed His life for us. Will we be a living sacrifice for Him?
