What does the Bible say about substitution in sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that fallen man can only approach God through the death of an innocent Substitute, which foreshadows Christ's atonement.

In Genesis 4 and Hebrews 11, Abel's obedient faith highlights the essential doctrine of substitutionary atonement. Fallen humanity, due to sin, cannot meet God's standard of righteousness without an innocent Substitute. This divine provision points to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who became sin for us, ensuring that those chosen by grace can trust in Him for acceptance. Scripture reinforces that no sinner will acknowledge their need for such a Substitute apart from God's sovereign call.
