How do we know the New Covenant replaces the Old Covenant?

Answered in 1 source

The New Covenant replaces the Old Covenant as it fulfills the purpose of the Law through Jesus Christ, abolishing the former sacrificial system.

The New Covenant is established in Christ and affirms that the former covenant, including its laws and sacrifices, is now obsolete. Hebrews 8:13 states, 'In that He says, a new covenant, He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.' This indicates a significant theological shift wherein Christians no longer rely on animal sacrifices or the temple for atonement. Instead, they have direct access to God through the sacrificial death and resurrection of Christ. Salvation, therefore, is not found in rituals but in a personal relationship with Jesus, who is the ultimate fulfillment of the Law.
