OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE...
Obedience is relationship by response. It is proof that you are alive and not laying dead like a branch removed from its source.
Sacrifice is a disconnected - outward motion.. The heart is not exposed or tended.
Where's the freedom in obedience?
“Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.”

Remain
“Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.”
