While all scripture is important…Not all scripture is equally important!
1 Samuel 15:22
But Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in
burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in
obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the
fat of rams.”
Hosea 6:6
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt
offerings.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first
importance: that Christ died for our sins according to
the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according
to the Scriptures.
Matthew 23:23
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have
neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the
former.”
Matthew 22:34-40
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the
Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in
the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind.’38 This is the first and
greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as
yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these
two commandments.”
