Conscience: Christ's sacrifice vs the blood of bulls and goats?

It was different. They looked at Jesus through the symbols and shadows of the sacrifice, nevertheless that is all they were symbols and shadows of the
"Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"
John 1:29
They were forgiven on credit, while we look back to His sacrifice are forgiven as He now intercedes with us before the Father as the True High Priest, which the priests of old represented. Jesus is the antitype of the priests and sacrificial lamb.

The answer to your question is further on in the chapter.
Hebrews 10:11-14 ESV And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
Christ's sacrifice was fundamentally different than those of the animals. A person's sins were forgiven by the animal's sacrifice, but they would become immediately guilty again because of their sinful nature. This is why the animals had to be sacrificed over and over again.
Christ's single sacrifice not only forgives us of all of our sins but it also gives us his righteousness so that we are fully justified before God. The forgiveness gained from the sacrifice of animal is temporary--but Christ's sacrifice is permanent and all-encompassing.
1 Peter 3:18 ESV For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
Romans 6:10-11 ESV For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:20-22 ESV For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.
2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
