Sacrifice, for sin, is by the law and of the law.
Christ [is] "the end of the law": Romans 10:4.
Thereby the end of law imputed sin: Rom 5:13,
so the end of sacrifice for sin, which is of the law,
which is the source & strength of sin's death sting.
It's notably what God will "not" have:
"I will have mercy, and not sacrifice".
The "not" part is not then, now, ever.
(Ps 40:6; 51:16; Mt 9:13; 12:7; Heb 10)
Receiving the promise (eternal life) is
notably "after" doing the will of God,
which is to have mercy, not sacrifice.
Heb 11: these all died & rec'd not the promise.
God never desired, nor took pleasure in,
sacrifice for sin, which is by law & of law.
For law can't purge the conscience of sin.
For law is both source & strength of sin.
The God of all grace is the God of no law at all,
as that God is light having "no darkness at all",
which is to allegory say mercy void of sacrifice,
which is to allegory say peace void of division.
