How do we know Christ is better than the Old Covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is better than the Old Covenant because He provides true salvation, which the law could not offer.

The superiority of Christ over the Old Covenant is a fundamental assertion in Hebrews. The author illustrates that the Old Covenant, while divinely instituted, was ultimately a temporary arrangement designed to reveal humanity's need for a Savior. The law was a schoolmaster that exposed sin and the impossibility of achieving righteousness through works. In contrast, Jesus Christ, as the mediator of the New Covenant, brings a better hope through His perfect sacrifice. As stated in John 1:17, 'The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ,' highlighting that Christ fulfilled the law's requirements and offers genuine atonement for sin, unlike the repeated sacrifices of the Old Covenant.
