What does the rending of the veil signify about sin?

Answered in 1 source

The rending of the veil signifies that Christ has removed the barrier of sin, granting believers access to God's presence.

The veil that was torn at Christ's death symbolizes the removal of sin as the barrier that separates humanity from God. Prior to Christ, sin kept the people at a distance due to God's holiness, as illustrated by the high priest's annual entry into the Holy of Holies with blood. When Jesus cried, 'It is finished,' and the veil was torn, it marked the completion of the sacrificial system and the atonement for sin. This act declared that no longer do we need intermediaries; through Christ, who has taken away our sin, we can boldly approach God's throne. Hebrews 9:26 emphasizes this by stating that Christ has appeared once to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
