What does the Bible say about the law and sacrifices?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the law and sacrifices are a shadow of good things to come and cannot make anyone perfect.

According to Hebrews 10:1, the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, meaning it cannot make the comers perfect. The annual sacrifices were reminders of sins and did not provide true atonement. They were merely types and pictures pointing to Christ, who would fulfill the law's requirements through His perfect sacrifice, as stated in Hebrews 10:4 where it is clear that it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. The sacrificial system pointed toward the need for a perfect sacrifice, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
