What does Scripture tell us about acceptable sacrifices to God?

 

Psalm 51:17-"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise".

 

Matthew 16:24-"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me".

 

1st Corinthians 15:31-"I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily".

 

Romans 12:1-"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service".

 

What is acceptable (not despised) to God as a "living sacrifice"?

 

Per scripture, it is that of our bodies which house the spirit/heart of man that God deems as an acceptable sacrifice to Him...that of a broken and contrite heart.

 

I do believe that we have the scriptural references to these sacrifices that will be caused to be stopped by the antichrist in the Great Tribulation.

 

I could not locate any scriptural reference(s) to that of fallen angels posing as aliens for the purpose of either constructing or bringing a physical Temple with them to fulfill the stoppage of the "daily sacrifice".
