"Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams" (1 Samuel 15:22; NKJV).
Question: Why is obedience better than sacrifice?
Answer: Because there would be no need for a sacrifice if we would just obey.
