A Spiritual Sacrifice
Commentators like Calvin and Gill explain that the 'sacrifice of thanksgiving' is not primarily about the literal offerings of the Old Testament law. Instead, it refers to the spiritual sacrifice of heartfelt praise and gratitude, which is more pleasing to God. This offering comes from a heart that recognizes God's deliverance from affliction and sin.
