How do we know the Messianic Covenant is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of the Messianic Covenant is confirmed through its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who establishes it through His life, death, and resurrection.

The authenticity of the Messianic Covenant is rooted in its fulfillment in the person and work of Jesus Christ. As the author of Hebrews notes, Christ mediates a better covenant established on better promises (Hebrews 8:6). He is the prophesied fulfillment of the covenant's promises, having been born under the law and lived a sinless life. His sacrificial death established the new covenant by providing atonement for sin, thereby allowing believers to enter into a new relationship with God characterized by grace rather than strict adherence to the law. Furthermore, the New Testament writings affirm the fulfillment of these Old Testament prophecies, demonstrating how they point to Christ as the mediator of this new covenant.
