What does the Bible say about the law and sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the law is a shadow of good things to come, and the sacrifices under the Old Covenant can never take away sin.

In Hebrews 10:1, the law refers specifically to the ceremonial law, which included guidelines for sacrifices and the priesthood. These practices were shadows or types that pointed to Christ, the true substance. The ceremonial sacrifices could never put away sin or make the worshipers perfect (Hebrews 10:1-2). They served as reminders of sin rather than as a means of atonement. Only Christ, through His single offering, perfected forever those who are sanctified (Hebrews 10:14).
