Hebrews 13:15 Through Him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of lips confessing His name.
If we would offer Christ to God as the burnt offering, we need to experience Christ in His experiences, and then, according to our experiences of Christ, offer to God the Christ whom we have experienced. (Life-study of Leviticus, ch. 8, by Witness Lee)
God accepts no work that is not a sacrifice, that is not wholly offered up to Him. The question is not: “What have I done?” Rather, the question is: “Has what I have done been done as an offering to God? Has it passed out of my hands into His?” If what we have done has not passed over to the other side, it is not priestly ministry, and it is outside the realm of the church’s vocation. If what we have done has not passed over to the other side, then we have not passed over to the other side either, because the offerer goes with the offering. If our offering ascends to God, we will ascend with it. (Collected Works of Watchman Nee, vol. 46, p. 1205)
Through the Christ whom we have experienced and enjoyed, we need to offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually [Hebrews 13:15]. The real praise in the meetings must be constituted of our experiences of Christ. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3843-3844)
