How do we know the doctrine of Christ as the central altar is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of Christ as the central altar is affirmed throughout Scripture, showing that He is the fulfillment of the shadows and types described in the Old Testament.

The truth of Christ as the central altar encompasses the entirety of redemptive history revealed in Scripture. In Deuteronomy 12, God establishes a physical altar, but this is a shadow pointing to a greater reality fulfilled in Christ. The New Testament affirms this in Hebrews 10:1, which explains that the laws and sacrifices of the Old Testament were mere shadows of the ultimate reality found in Jesus. Christ, as stated in John 14:6, is the way, the truth, and the life, and through Him, all worship must be directed. His work on the cross completed the sacrificial system set forth in the Old Testament, making Him the ultimate focus of worship.
