He wants us to sacrifice our life. We don't have to die, but worship him and ONLY him.
This answer comes from a 12 year old girl.
An offering to God of something precious to us is a symbolic gesture of our gratitude, love, and devotion. It can be a way to show our commitment and faith by giving up something valuable as a sign of reverence and surrender to a higher power.
if you are talking about the story of Abraham and how he was told by God to sacrifice his son Isaac, than instead of his son he sacrificed a lamb because he was going to sacrifice his son for God and so God said that he had proven his faith and that means he loves him, so instead he let Abraham sacrifice a lamb instead!! hope that helped :D
Actually Abraham didn't when sacrifice his son because in the bible it says that when he was about to sacrafice his son, God answered and told him not to do it. Abraham had shown his faith to god and god was pleased. So Abraham didn't sacrifice his son.
Animal sacrifice is in the Bible because God declared that "The wages of sin are death", and "without blood, there is no remission of sin." God is so holy, that even the smallest blemish of impurity would evaporate before Him. Therefore, if man is to come to God, his sins must have been justly punished. In order to permit man to come to God, He permitted man to "cover" his sins by sacrificing pure lambs in their place. The book of Hebrews tells us this was a prophetic shadow of things to come, where God would sacrifice the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, a perfect human, to cleanse away the sin of man, that whosoever would take His sacrifice for their own, would be able to stand in the presence of God. So, God's Justice, and His Love are both fulfilled in the sacrifice. The wages of sin is death - Christ died. Without blood, there is no remission of sin - The Bible says the blood of Christ cleanses us of all unrighteousness. And therefore we have confidence before God.
Because he wanted to let his sins teach us how to be good people and he wanted to sit next to his father (God) in heavenANSWER: Jesus, the Son of God loves all persons. He and God the Father want all persons to come to them in salvation. John 3:16, " For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." And Jesus, the Son of God did not sin!
No, God does not necessarily want us to know everything. It is believed that God wants us to seek knowledge and understanding, but also to have faith and trust in Him for things that are beyond our understanding.
God wants us in church because it is his house and we learn all about him there
God has shown his love for us through the sacrifice of his son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to save us from sin and offer us eternal life.
God requires nothing from us, and nothing we do can curry favor from him.
i don't know about 'divine' revelation, but during the taking of bread and wine God reveals to you how much of a sacrifice Jesus made for us, and makes us think about what we can give to God if he's given us the greatest sacrifice of his son. :)

It depends on your religion. If you have one.
Do what you want and be what you want. God gave us the free will to do so. Use it
Because then God can show others how strong He is through us
because God want him to sacrifice his son so he find difficult
Jesus died as a sacrifice from God his father, to pay for all of our sins. He is the 'LAMB OF GOD'. God has said that the wages of sin is Death. God will not just forget or erase what he said, like some men would do. So someone has to pay for all the sins we have committed. Either each one of us with our Spiritual Death (HELL or Separation from God)pay for our own sins, or we can accept the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. He died willingly as his Father, God, asked him to do, to pay for our sins. God knows none of us, not even the Pope, not Billy Graham, not the Dhali Lama (spelling?), no one can live a sinless life. Sin separates us from God. God does not want us to be separated from him, but someone has to pay the price for our sins. We can pay for them ourselves, or we can accept the gift of our salvation from Jesus, who offered himself as a sacrificial lamb (THE LAMB OF GOD) to pay for our sins.
