Loving God with everything you've got — your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength — and loving your neighbor like you love yourself? That's worth more than any religious ritual or sacrifice you could ever make.

If those old sacrifices actually worked, wouldn't they have stopped doing them? I mean, if people were truly cleaned up once and for all, they wouldn't still feel guilty about their sins, right?

The old law was like a shadow of the amazing things God had planned — it gave you a hint of what was coming, but it wasn't the real deal. All those yearly sacrifices people kept making? They could never actually make anyone complete or whole.
