The sacrifices in the OT were to cover (atone) sin.
This looked forward to the Redemption Jesus paid for which removed the penalty both for those who trust in His shed blood and for those who trusted Him previously.
The life is in the blood according to God.
God takes seriously our actions, yet provided a way to justify us.

How does killing animals atone for sin?  Why would God want people to do that?  Wouldn't it be better for them to be genuinely sorry and try to do better in the future?

And why would God want Jesus to die?  Why couldn't God just forgive people without having someone (himself?) tortured to death?  Why would God want that?
