Jesus came to do away with our sin (Hebrews 9:26, 1 John 3:5) and not cover our sin. Animal sacrifices {as done before the time of Christ} covered sin (Hebrews 10:4-11). This is my perspective; the problem with covering sin is that it has the potential to grow again like weeds. Therefore, people in the old testament had to sacrifice animals regularly to cover their sin. Jesus came to uproot and completely take away sin so that it does not grow again and bear fruit. When we accept Christ's sacrifice, it is like a new seed planted that has the potential to grow and bear many good fruits.
