How do we know the law needs to be changed?

Answered in 1 source

The law must be changed because sinners cannot keep it, and God intended salvation to come through grace, not the law.

In Hebrews 7:12, it is made clear that with the change in the priesthood necessitated by Christ's ministry, there must also be a change in the law. This isn't a change in God's moral standards, but rather a change in the means by which sinners can be saved. The law of Moses could not offer salvation because it was inherently tied to human inability to obey. Instead, salvation has always been intended through faith, specifically in Christ's obedience and sacrificial death. The change reflects God's ongoing plan where the law of grace supersedes the law of sin and death, enabling sinners to find hope and salvation in Christ alone.
