How do we know Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrifices?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is identified as the fulfillment of Old Testament sacrifices through His perfect and singular sacrifice for sin.

The Old Testament sacrificial system was a shadow of what was to come, with Christ as the ultimate fulfillment of these types. In Genesis 22, Abraham was shown a foreshadowing of the redemptive work of Christ when he stated, 'God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering.' This prophecy was realized in the New Testament when Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). His one-time sacrifice on the cross perfected forever those who are being sanctified (Hebrews 10:14), demonstrating that He fulfilled the deep necessity for sacrifice established in the Old Testament.
