The Covenant Sealed by Christ
Commentators explain that God's "saints" are defined by their covenant relationship with Him. This covenant is sealed "by sacrifice," which for Christians points directly to the new covenant established through the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. As Matthew Henry notes, it is only through Christ, the great Sacrifice, that we can be accepted by God, not through empty external rituals.
