How does the idea of renewal of the altar relate to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The renewal of the altar signifies the restoration of true worship which is centered on Christ's sacrifice.

The renewal of the altar in 2 Chronicles signifies a return to true worship which, in the Christian understanding, is centered around the person and work of Jesus Christ. The altar was a place of sacrifice where the blood of lambs was shed, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God. Renewing the altar reflects the necessity of approaching God through Christ's blood, signifying that worship devoid of the atoning sacrifice is meaningless. Hebrews 9:22 reinforces this by stating, 'Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin,' underscoring that our worship must be rooted in Christ's redemptive work on the cross.
