How do we know Christ's sacrifice replaced the Old Testament rituals?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice replaces the Old Testament sacrificial system, fulfilling the purpose of atonement once and for all.

In the New Testament, the death of Jesus Christ is seen as the ultimate fulfillment of the sacrificial system established in the Old Testament. The rituals, including the tabernacle, the high priest, and the various sacrifices, were all types and shadows that pointed to the need for atonement that would be satisfied in Christ. With His death, the requirement for continued animal sacrifices was abolished, as His sacrifice was perfect and sufficient for all sin. This understanding allows believers to approach God through Christ in spirit and truth, recognizing Him as our great High Priest and the nuances of Old Testament worship as completed in Him.
