Why is the altar important in Christian worship?

Answered in 1 source

The altar is vital in Christian worship as it represents Christ's sacrifice and our need for atonement.

The altar serves a central role in Christian worship as it symbolizes the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, the ultimate Lamb of God. According to the article, Jesus is described not only as the sacrifice (the Lamb) but also as the altar itself through which believers find redemption. This essential truth reinforces the understanding that all acceptance before God hinges on Christ's mediatory work. In drawing near to the altar, Christians acknowledge their utter dependence on Christ’s blood for forgiveness and their need to live lives dedicated to God in response to His grace.
