How do we know that Christ is the fulfillment of the Levitical offerings?

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfills the Levitical offerings by being the perfect sacrifice required for atonement.

The Levitical offerings require animals that are unblemished, which symbolically represent the perfection of Christ. Since all the offerings point to aspects of His work, they collectively demonstrate that Christ alone meets the requirement for atonement. For example, the sin offering typologically signifies Christ being made sin for us, taking our judgment upon Himself. Additionally, New Testament passages affirm that the sacrificial system was a shadow of the true substance found in Christ (Hebrews 10:1-4). These offerings exemplify God's justice being satisfied through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus, who fully secures our salvation.
