DefinitionAn offering made to God — especially of an animal as atonement for sin in the OT. The entire Levitical sacrificial system pointed forward to the one perfect sacrifice of Christ. His death was the sacrifice to end all sacrifices, fulfilling and abolishing the need for animal offerings.
Key Verses"But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God." (Hebrews 10:12); "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice." (Romans 12:1)
