Why is it important to understand the significance of the altar?

Answered in 1 source

The altar represents the foundation of atonement and forgiveness through Christ, essential for true worship.

The altar mentioned in Revelation symbolizes the basis of our atonement and forgiveness in Christ. It serves as the means through which believers can approach God in worship. In the Old Testament, the altar was where sacrifices were made, but under the new covenant, Christ Himself is the altar, offering Himself as the once-for-all sacrifice. Understanding this significance enables believers to appreciate the role of Christ in their worship and relationship with God, recognizing that genuine worship cannot take place without acknowledging the altar, which is Christ crucified.
