How do we know that believers are invited to partake in Christ as our altar?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are invited to partake in Christ as our altar because they are chosen and blessed by God to come to Him in faith.

The invitation for believers to partake in Christ as the altar is rooted in divine choice and grace. In Exodus 20:24, God instructed His chosen people, emphasizing that they could approach Him only through the prescribed altar, signifying that it is God who determines who can approach Him. Moreover, throughout the New Testament, specifically in Hebrews, it is made clear that those who believe in Christ are made holy and acceptable to God through Him. The enjoyment of the blessings associated with this altar is not conditioned on human merit but on God’s mercy in allowing us to come to Him through. This serves as a foundation for understanding our privileged position as His people.
