How do we know that Christ is the true altar?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is confirmed as the true altar because He alone fulfills the requirements for atonement as both priest and sacrifice.

The assertion that Christ is the true altar rests upon the Scriptures' testimony that He uniquely serves as both the High Priest and the ultimate sacrificial Lamb. Hebrews 9:11-12 elucidates that Christ, entering the holy place, did so not with the blood of animals but with His own, securing eternal redemption for believers. This dual role emphasizes His sufficiency in providing complete atonement. Unlike earthly altars made with hands, Christ's heavenly altar is eternal, representing the foundation for all spiritual worship, rendering every other altar ineffective in comparison.
