As we go into this season of contemplating Jesus’ death, many Christians begin to meditate on the meaning of sacrifice. They search for Bible verses about sacrifice, read the resurrection story and try to understand what it means to offer sacrifices to God.

It’s a lofty goal. Sacrifice is a big part of the salvation story and the Bible has a lot to say about sacrifices and how we should offer it.

Leviticus may not be your favorite book in the Bible, but God has devoted an entire book explaining to His people what was expected. In fact, the children of Israel were camped out in the wilderness for about a year as they learned about the sacrifices they were expected to make and the other things they needed to do if they were to please God.

Since the beginning of time, God has required a sacrifice from His people. He asked Adam and Eve for the sacrifice of obedience. Later, when they sinned, He required a physical offering even as He still asked them to be obedient.

But biblical sacrifice did not end in the Old Testament. The New Testament is rife with sacrifice—not only what is expected of God’s people but also the sacrifice God made on humanity’s behalf. Let’s explore a few of those Bible verses about sacrifice:

Bible verses about the sacrifice God made for humanity

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8 ESV).

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you” (John 15:12-14 ESV).

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45 ESV).
