What does the Bible say about sacrifices for sin?

The Bible presents a clear distinction between the old covenant sacrifices and Christ's sacrifice. Hebrews 10 explains that the daily offerings by priests were ineffective in putting away sin, as they had to be repeated yearly, symbolizing their inability to fulfill God's requirements for true atonement. In contrast, Christ offered Himself as a single, perfect sacrifice, fulfilling the law’s demands and providing complete redemption for those chosen by God. Therefore, while the animal sacrifices served to remind the people of their sin and need for atonement, they ultimately pointed to the one true sacrifice of Christ that accomplishes what the former could not.
