What does the Bible say about Christ as our altar?

Answered in 9 sources

The Bible teaches that Christ is our altar and the sacrifice that brings us to God, highlighting that we have no need for earthly altars or sacrifices while He fulfills all requirements.

In Hebrews 13:10, it is stated, 'We have an altar,' indicating that believers have Christ as their altar. This signifies that Christ is the one through whom we can approach God. The writer of Hebrews contrasts this with the Old Testament sacrifices and notes that those who attempt to serve the tabernacle have no right to eat from it. This posits that reliance on works of the law cannot bring one to the true communion with God found in Christ. He is the fulfillment of the Old Testament symbols, providing a complete and perfect means for sinners to be accepted by God. This truth emphasizes the necessity of grace in our approach to God, showing us that we stand accepted, not by our works, but solely through Christ's sacrificial love.
