What does the Bible say about altars in Christian worship?

In the New Testament, particularly in the book of Hebrews, it is made clear that the Old Testament altars used for animal sacrifices are no longer necessary because Christ has fulfilled the law. Hebrews 13:10 states, 'We have an altar whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.' This highlights the transition from physical altars to the spiritual reality of Christ as our altar. The ornate traditions and items formerly associated with worship, such as crosses and altars, are mere distractions that can lead believers away from the focus on Christ. Worshiping in Spirit and Truth, as commanded by Christ, means recognizing Him as the sole mediator between God and man and understanding that He is the true source of salvation and grace.
