How do we know that Christ is the mediator of a better covenant?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ is affirmed as the mediator of a better covenant according to Hebrews 8:6, which highlights that His promises are superior to those of the old covenant.

Hebrews 8:6 states that Christ has obtained a more excellent ministry, being the mediator of a better covenant, established upon better promises. This reinforces the idea that in comparison to the old covenant, which required continuous sacrifices and adherence to the law, Christ offers a final and perfect sacrifice that fulfills the requirements of the law. His better promises provide a pathway to true reconciliation with God, emphasizing grace over law, and ensuring that salvation is secure for those who believe in Him. The former priests could not save, but Christ's priesthood is eternal and unchangeable, providing everlasting assurance to believers.
