Why is the veil significant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The veil signifies the necessity of Christ's sacrificial work for believers' access to God.

For Christians, the veil holds immense significance as it symbolizes the barrier created by sin, which only Christ can remove. Christ's flesh is likened to the veil, as His sacrifice on the cross tore down the dividing wall, granting access to God's presence through faith. The moment He proclaimed, 'It is finished,' the veil in the temple ripped from top to bottom, marking the end of the ceremonial law and affirming the complete redemption brought through His sacrifice. Therefore, the veil points to the necessity of Christ in providing believers with direct access to the Holy God.
