Why is it significant that we have an altar?

Answered in 1 source

The significance lies in Christ being the perfect sacrifice satisfying God's justice and holiness.

The phrase 'We have an altar' is of profound significance as it encapsulates the essence of the gospel. In Christ, we find the only altar that is acceptable to God. This altar is not merely a physical location, but rather, it represents the person and work of Jesus Christ, who fulfills all the requirements of divine justice. He is the sacrifice that satisfies God's wrath, and through His death, God's law is honored. Moreover, having Christ as our altar assures us of God's mercy towards those who believe, allowing us to boldly approach His throne. The New Testament contrasts this with the futile rituals of the Old Testament, affirming that Christ's one-time sacrifice is sufficient for all who trust in Him.
