Hebrews 10:2

Animal Sacrifices Insufficient

1 For the law, having a ^ashadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, ^bcan never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once¹ purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.

4 For ^ait is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will

5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
^a“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.

Hebrews 10:1-6

The repeated sacrificial offerings of animals found in Leviticus could never take away sins, brethren. The penalty for mankind's sin is mankind's death. The value of the life of an animal was not even close to the value of the life of a person.

This one payment was so large it will satisfy the cost of all the sins of all mankind, for all of the world, for all of time. When Jesus Christ, God the Son, came into the world, God provided Him a human body, we read here, which enabled Him to serve God's will and be our sacrifice once for all.
