How do we know the new covenant in Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

The new covenant is confirmed by scripture and is established through the sacrifice of Christ, which fulfills God's promises.

The truth of the new covenant in Christ is supported by multiple biblical passages and the historical fulfillment of God's promises. God prophesied a new covenant through the prophets, as stated in Jeremiah 31:31-34, affirming that He would write His laws on the hearts of His people. This covenant is an everlasting covenant that is made manifest in Christ, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-7, where it speaks of our election and redemption in Him. The New Testament further establishes the new covenant through Jesus' sacrificial death, making it clear that the old covenant could not bring life nor fulfillment; thus, Christ's blood mediates a better covenant based on better promises, as noted in Hebrews 8 and 9.
