FB, The sacrifice was to pay the sin price which all of mankind is subject to---Death. It was the LAW of GOD which demanded the Sacrifice.
Since mankind could NOT pay that death penalty and live. Jesus Christ in HIS LOVE offered to die for all who would repent of sinning and submit their will in obedience to the WILL of GOD.
Those animal sacrifices to Idols was a counterfeit and in place of the worship which is due only to the Creator GOD.
FB, the Scriptures declared that SIN is Disobedience and the penalty is/was death. The Scriptures declare that Created Mankind would have continued to live and not see/endure death had the created pair continued in obedience.
Yes, today, since mankind chose to be disobedient, death is inevitable.
GOD Never "demanded" that there be a human sacrifice. And it is impossible for one sinful human to pay the death penalty for another human being. ALL humans are under the same death penalty.
Therefore, the free LOVE offering of GOD.
John 3:16-17, "
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
That Propitiation(sacrifice) was all who in faithful repenting and submitting to GOD'S Will chooses to have GOD as their GOD.
Matt,16:21 , "From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day."
John 18:37, "Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.
To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice."
