How do we know the new covenant is better than the old covenant?
Answered in 1 source
The new covenant is established on better promises, offering eternal salvation rather than temporary physical blessings.
The superiority of the new covenant over the old can be found in Hebrews 8:6, where it states that Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry and serves as the mediator of a better covenant. The old covenant, made with the nation of Israel, required adherence to the law and involved repeated animal sacrifices for sin. In contrast, the new covenant provides a permanent solution through the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ, who fulfilled the law and secured eternal redemption for His people. This shift from a bilateral to a unilateral covenant marks its transformative nature, emphasizing grace over works.
