1 Pet 2:5 "offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ". What are these?

[XavierJesusLovesIndia]

Dear Friends, in 1 Pet 2:5, the Apostle teaches us: "4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."

What are these spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ, that St. Peter, His Apostle, commands us to continually offer to the Lord?

God Bless.

Spiritual sacrifices include the believer’s prayers, praises, will, bodies, time, and talents.

First Peter 2:5 says, “You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house
to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus
Christ.” Peter was writing to Christians to encourage them to remain strong in the faith,
even through persecution (1 Peter 1:6). He reminded them that they were highly
significant in the sight of God and urged them to live holy lives (verses 15–16).

Under the New Covenant, every believer in Jesus Christ is a holy priest. As priests,
they offer spiritual sacrifices “through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:5). Spiritual sacrifices
replace the material sacrifices of the Old Covenant (Exodus 29:36). No longer are
priests a separate class, and no longer do they offer bulls, goats, and lambs on the
altar (Hebrews 10:1–11). Not only do believers constitute the new priesthood, but
they are the “living stones” forming the spiritual temple of God (1 Peter 2:5).
Our worship today involves the offering of spiritual sacrifices. source

Thank you for the inspiration

Hebrews 13
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

Welcome. Nice picture.

Heb 13:15, cited by Some Disciple, also elaborates further. By prayer and praise without ceasing, we offer a Sacrifice of Praise to His Name.

Rom 12:1 tells us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices to the Lord: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."

1 Jn 2:2 tell us: "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."

God Bless.

Well, Peter was the first pope, so whatever it means we should definitely listen.
