In this excerpt, Thomas Schreiner explains why the animal sacrifices of the Old Testament could never truly forgive sins.

He argues that these sacrifices were never intended to provide final atonement, but rather to point forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. Drawing on the logic of the New Testament, Schreiner emphasizes that if righteousness could be obtained through the law or sacrificial system, then Christ’s death would have been unnecessary. Instead, the sacrifices function as shadows, directing attention to the suffering servant of Isaiah 53 and the true source of forgiveness.
