This topic is important because without an altar there is no connection with Jehovah God. Sacfricies (offering etc) are made on an altar.
The Holy Scripture is littered with examples. For us to have a relationship with Jehovah, Jesus had to be give his life in sacrifice. He himself became the Altar and the sacrifice. After the flood when Noah came out of the ark, he built an altar to Jehovah. The Bible said it was a soothing aroma. Then Jehovah made a covenant. Abraham was a man of altars, built about four altars. He was a worshipper of the true Living God.

· A place of encounter with Jehovah
· A place of worship after sin and forgiveness
· A place of answer
