How do we know that Christ's sacrifice was superior to Old Testament sacrifices?

Answered in 1 source

The sacrifice of Christ is deemed superior because it was once for all, unlike the repeated Old Testament sacrifices that could never remove sins (Hebrews 10:11-12).

The writer of Hebrews articulates the superiority of Christ's sacrifice by contrasting it with the repeated animal sacrifices of the Old Testament, which were incapable of taking away sins. Hebrews 10:11-12 states that these sacrifices were offered continually, yet they could not perfect the worshippers. In contrast, Christ, having offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. This act signifies that His sacrifice not only fulfilled God's justice but also established a new covenant, thereby completing the work of atonement for His people once and for all.
