In order to end the trouble that God had sent among the Philistines, they decided to send the ark back with tokens of their guild—gold mice, gold tumors, and a cart. Quite a strange way to admit guilt, isn’t it?* Today, God will not be appeased regarding our sin apart from our own personal godly sorrow, repentance, and obedience, including offering ourselves as living sacrifices (2 Corinthians 7:9-10; Acts 17:30-31; 22:16; Romans 12:1-2).
*The cart was then chopped up and burned, while the cattle pulling it were offered as sacrifices.
