Why is “Obedience is Better than Sacrifice”? Obedience is better than sacrifice" comes from 1 Samuel 15, which tells the story of King Saul and his disobedience to God. God commanded Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites, but Saul disobeyed, keeping some of the best livestock and the Amalekite king, Agag. When the prophet Samuel confronted Saul, Saul made excuses and even tried to justify his actions by saying the livestock was kept for sacrifice to God. #biblestoriesvideos #TrustGod #Godisg
