A life totally dedicated to God (burnt offering) and man (meal offering) is a precursor to acceptance by God (symbolized by the offering of the firstfruits). Our offering is determined by our (1) treasure- our resources for giving (2) our heart- our motivation for giving (our vital interests in life), and (3) mammon- what one puts his trust in. We either trust God or mammon. We must be able to distinguish a central focus from a marginal focus, putting God at the center and everything else in the periphery. The giving of an offering determines how closely our focus is upon Him.
