Obedience is Better than Sacrifice.....
example: I can sacrifice the largest piece of cake to my younger brother and it be no great thing and everyone would say I love my brother......but when I am not with my mom and dad and they ask me not to hit him and I do - Do you think that I really love my brother? No, Obedience is better.

Our salvation came from Christ's obedience to the will of the Father; Jesus' obedience included sacrifice. My answer: obedience, in the case of Jesus!

Obedience, Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice.

This is America: the land of the haphazardly educated, and the home of the indignant...
Obedience carries more weight...
Sure some will claim sacrifice but they don't live it.
Hell, I realize this and I don't sacrifice anything of mine for anything.
We have become a country of conformists. If the founding fathers met us today, they would be disgusted…

As illustrated by the account of Cain and Abel, having knowledge of God and a desire for a close relationship with him is not enough. Why did Jehovah reject Cain’s sacrifice? Evidently there was something wrong with Cain’s heart. Jehovah could read Cain’s heart and warned him: “Why are you hot with anger and why has your countenance fallen? If you turn to doing good, will there not be an exaltation? But if you do not turn to doing good, there is sin crouching at the entrance, and for you is its craving.”—Genesis 4:6, 7.Genuine love of God means more than merely offering sacrifices. That is why Jehovah encouraged Cain to “turn to doing good.” God wanted obedience. Such obedience to God would have helped Cain to form a good foundation for a loving relationship with the Creator. The Bible emphasizes the value of obedience with these words: “Does Jehovah have as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Look! To obey is better than a sacrifice, to pay attention than the fat of rams.”—1 Samuel 15:22.
Hosea 6:6 For in loving-kindness I have taken delight, and not in sacrifice; and in the knowledge of God rather than in whole burnt offerings.
Proverbs 21:3 To carry on righteousness and judgment is more preferable to Jehovah than sacrifice.
(Mark 12:33) and this loving him with one’s whole heart and with one’s whole understanding and with one’s whole strength and this loving one’s neighbor as oneself is worth far more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

Both. Without Christ's obedience to EVERY law of God for EVERY day He was on earth, His sacrifice would have secured salvation for this many: 0 <--that's a zero, btw

Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifice by giving his life for us, so we only need to be grateful and obey, so obedience!

the death of Jesus Christ DID NOT go as the christians lies and deceptions want you to believe in...
so.................................................................. as far as obedience or sacrifice...
you'd have to know what you're obedient to or sacrificing, and how much weight you'd be willing to put into it !
Get it now?
Here's something that's even better than obedience or sacrifice:
Create a Private, Personal, Direct, Divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion's and atheist's beliefs.
Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.
atheists = all the people in religion = all the ignorant fundamentalists = all the cults/superstitions

obedience is better than sacrifice on any given day. Wouldn't you rather someone do something because they love you than because they know that if they do it they will be rewarded? I would.
