The original Greek contains details lost in English translations. The English focus only on gratitude, the Greek appears to connect our reception of God’s kingdom with the concept of grace; this aligns with the broader biblical perspective on salvation, which is depicted as accessible solely through God’s grace (Romans 11:6; Ephesians 2:8-9). We receive membership in this unshakeable kingdom by grace, and through that same grace, we are enabled to present eternally acceptable sacrifices (Hebrews 10:14; Romans 12:1). The Greek term referring to “sacrifice” is associated with both service and worship. Main Text: Hebrews 12:27-29 (ESV)
