The Bible makes it quite
clear that God hates human
sacrifice. The pagan nations that
surrounded the Israelites
practiced human sacrifice as part
of the worship of false gods. God
declared that such “worship”
was detestable to Him and that
He hates it ( Deuteronomy 12:31;
18:10). Furthermore, human
sacrifice is associated in the Old
Testament with evil practices
such as sorcery and divination,
which are also detestable to God
( 2 Kings 21:6). So, if God hates
human sacrifice, why did He
sacrifice Christ on the cross and
how could that sacrifice be the
payment for our sins?
There is no doubt that a sacrifice
for sin was necessary if people
are to have any hope of eternal
life. God established the necessity
of the shedding of blood to cover
sin ( Hebrews 9:22). In fact, God
Himself performed the very first
animal sacrifice to cover,
temporarily, the sin of Adam and
Eve. He killed an
animal, shedding its blood, and
made from it a covering for
Adam and Eve ( Genesis 3:21),
thereby instituting the principle
of animal sacrifice for sin. When
God gave the Law to Moses, there
were extensive instructions on
how, when, and under what
circumstances animal sacrifices
were to be offered to Him. This
was to continue until Christ came
to offer the ultimate, perfect
sacrifice, which made animal
sacrifice no longer necessary.
“But those sacrifices are an
annual reminder of sins, because
it is impossible for the blood of
bulls and goats to take away
sins” ( Hebrews 10:3–4).
There are several reasons why
the sacrifice of Christ on the
cross does not violate the
prohibition against human
sacrifice.

1. Jesus wasn’t merely human.
If He were, then
His sacrifice would have also
been a temporary one because
one human life couldn’t possibly
cover the sins of the multitudes
who ever existed. Neither could
one finite human life atone for
sin against an infinite God. The
only viable sacrifice must be an
infinite one, which means only
God Himself could atone for the
sins of mankind. Only God
Himself, an infinite Being, could
pay the penalty owed to Himself.
This is why God had to become a
Man and dwell among men ( John 1:14)

2. God didn’t sacrifice
Jesus. Rather, Jesus, as God
incarnate, sacrificed Himself. No
one forced Him. He laid down His
life willingly, as He made clear
speaking about His life: “No one
takes it from me, but I lay it
down of my own accord. I have
authority to lay it down and
authority to take it up
again” ( John 10:18). God the Son
sacrificed Himself to God the
Father and thereby fulfilled all the
requirements of the Law. Unlike
the temporary sacrifices, Jesus’
once-for-all-time sacrifice was
followed by His resurrection. He
laid down His life and took it up
again, thereby providing eternal
life for all who would ever believe
in Him and accept His sacrifice
for their sins. He did this out of
love for the Father and for all
those the Father has given Him
( John 6:37–40).
Bro if you cannot comprehend this, then you need the holy spirit in you.
