“Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster.”

Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Rendering is something costly, He asks us for obedience and not sacrifice because obedience is a sacrifice.
