The 1st animal sacrifice (an innocent dying in place of the guilty) for sin happen in the garden of Eden. Adam & Eve CHOOSE to SIN = transgress heavenly law. Their sin/transgression had to be pay heavens required price.
Rom 6:23 the wage (cost/price) for sin is death.
Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Animal sacrifices, an innocent dying in place guilty. Was a temporary form of sin payment/picture a credit card, that continue for millenia. Until the ultimate "Once & For All" God blood sinless/innocent sacrifice is offered. The Eternal Son of God, Jesus the Christ offers Himself & pays for Adam & Eve's sin caused crisis!
BTW: animal sacrifices only covered for 1 year & couldn't remove or forgive sin.
God kills he 1st animal here:
Gen 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
(NOTE: Animals died to cover/clothe/pay sins just/must required wage/penalty "DEATH")
Their son Abel brings the nest recorded sacrificial offering here:
Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Noah
Gen 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Abraham
Gen 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
Gen 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
(MY NOTE: Jehovahjireh means: "The Lord Will Provide". Provide what? A sin sacrifice & Christ is that provision. We access this provision/atonement thru faith, not works. Rom 5:1-2)
Covenant at Sinai
And there were many animal sacrifices (millions?) offered for sin under the Covenant of Sinai. Until the ultimate "Once & For All" sinless God blood sacrifice is offered. When Jesus makes a willful, sin atoning sacrifice. When appropriated/seized by faith (Rom 5:1-2) not only covers, it, TAKES AWAY/REMOVES the believers/seizers sins past-present-future.
Jn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, "which taketh away the sin of the world".
(MY NOTE: Behold the Lamb of God, that TAKES AWAY sin)
Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and "washed us from our sins in his own blood",
(MY NOTE: Faith in who Jesus was - the Son of God & what he did - atoned for the believers sins.
Rom 3:23 for "all" have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We must pay-up or get under Christ's sin payment. Scripture teaches how to do this:
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Also see Rom 5:1-2, 1 Cor 15:1-4.
Matt 26:28 (AMP) For this is My blood of the new covenant, which [[f]ratifies the agreement and] is [g]being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Water baptism doesn't provide sin remission/pardon/forgiveness, repentance doesn't provide sin remission/pardon/forgiveness, obedience doesn't provide sin remission/pardon/forgiveness, law keeping etc, doesn't provide sin remission/pardon/forgiveness.
Only faith in Jesus sin atoning sacrifice & resurrection can remove the sin stain from one's soul.
Those that lived before Jesus payment had to BELIEVE they were sinners & Christ/God would come & make the sin payment. Those that lived when Jesus was alive had to believe He was the promised sin payment/Messiah. Those born after Jesus have acknowledge God & confess they are sinners & believe Jesus died for their sin, was buried & rose from the grave.
John 7:
37 Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!
38 He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’”
39 But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).

Acts 1:
4 While being together and eating with them, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Of which,” He said, “you have heard Me speak.
5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized and empowered and united with the Holy Spirit, not long from now.”
6 So when they had come together, they asked Him repeatedly, “Lord, are You at this time reestablishing the kingdom and restoring it to Israel?”
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority.
8 But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.”

The Day of Pentecost
Acts 2:
1 When the day of [a]Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place,
2 and suddenly a sound came from heaven like a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 There appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were being distributed [among them], and they rested on each one of them [as each person received the Holy Spirit].
4 And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues (different languages), as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately].
