How do we know the necessity of a new covenant is true?

Answered in 1 source

The necessity of a new covenant is established through the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the limitations of the old covenant, demonstrated in Hebrews 8:13.

The necessity of the new covenant is evidenced by scripture, notably in Hebrews 8:13, which states that the old covenant was made obsolete as it could not bring about true righteousness or full reconciliation with God. The prophetic writings, particularly in Haggai, foreshadowed the coming of a new order where God would establish a relationship with His people through the Messiah. This new covenant, inaugurated by Christ's atoning sacrifice, offers a direct and perpetual access to God, unlike the temporary and ritualistic nature of the old covenant. Therefore, the scriptural affirmations of the limitations of the Mosaic Law demonstrate the need for a greater, lasting covenant fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
