How do we know that God's covenant of grace is better?

Answered in 1 source

The covenant of grace is better because it is grounded in the finished work of Christ, providing complete salvation to sinners.

The assertion that the covenant of grace is superior to the covenant of works is firmly anchored in the reality that the former ensures salvation through Christ’s atonement. In Exodus 19, the covenant God made with Israel through Moses required obedience, which no one could fulfill completely. However, the covenant of grace, as elaborated in the New Testament, is unconditional and is fulfilled in Christ who obeyed the law perfectly and died for our sins. This covenant offers a relationship with God based on faith, rather than fear, affirming that salvation is a divine gift rather than a reward for merit.
