How do we know Christ is our true altar?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews 13:10 declares that Christ is the only altar through which believers can approach God, setting Him apart from all others.

The designation of Christ as our true altar rests on the biblical revelation that Jesus fulfills the sacrificial system established by God. As the only acceptable sacrifice for sin, He embodies the altar's purpose as the place where humanity meets divinity. In Hebrews 13:10, Paul contrasts the earthly altar of the temple with Christ, emphasizing that only those who honor Him can truly partake in fellowship with God. The completion of all sacrifices in Christ reveals that access to God is found solely in Him, who stands as the ultimate Mediator between God and man, making Him our exclusive altar before the Father.
