Yes and no. A sacrifice was needed for the atonement of sins, but it can only be atoned by faith, hence the fact that Jesus commended the scribe that faith in God was better than just burnt sacrifice.
"Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required (Psalm 40:6)."
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6)."
