How do we know that the new covenant is better than the old?

Answered in 1 source

The new covenant is superior because it brings a full revelation of God's grace compared to the veiled, partial revelations of the old covenant (2 Corinthians 3:13-14).

The superiority of the new covenant is highlighted in 2 Corinthians 3, where Paul contrasts it with the old covenant. The old covenant, represented by Moses and the law, is described as having a glory that ultimately fades away, leading to condemnation. In contrast, the new covenant fulfills this promise by revealing the fullness of God’s grace through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Under the new covenant, believers are not only freed from the law's condemnation but are also empowered by the Spirit to live in righteousness. This glorious transformation is marked by seeing God’s love and grace unveiled in the Gospel, allowing believers a direct relationship with God without the hindrance of a veil.
