Hosea 6:6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
Just in case you were thinking God wanted sacrifices up until Jesus was a personal sacrifice... He has long tried to get people to understand why He asked for sacrifices to being with!
God does not want us to do things just because the rules say we must...
God wants us to do things right because we want to and we want to please God through doing these things!
