Christ is described in Scripture as the only way to salvation, fulfilling the symbolic sacrifices presented in the Old Testament, such as the sacrifices made in Solomon's temple.
Christ is affirmed as the way to salvation through His fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrificial system. The rituals conducted by the high priest in Solomon's temple depicted the necessity of a perfect sacrifice to atone for sin. In Hebrews 10:12, we see that Christ offers Himself once for all, effectively putting an end to the sacrificial system of the temple. This act provides a means for believers to enter into a restored relationship with God, just as the temple allowed for communion with Him through the offerings made on the altar.
