How do we know Jesus is our sacrifice?

Throughout Scripture, particularly in the New Testament, Jesus is depicted as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). The sacrifices of the Old Testament, such as those made on the brazen altar, foreshadowed Christ's ultimate sacrifice on the cross. As evidenced in Exodus 20:24, God required sacrifices for worship, and these prefigured the sufficient sacrifice that Jesus would make. Only through faith in His sacrificial death can we draw near to God and receive His blessings, as God meets with His people in this appointed way through Christ.
