How do we know the New Testament revelation is superior?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament revelation through Christ is superior because it is complete and final, contrasting with the fragmentary nature of the Old Testament.

The Epistle to the Hebrews emphasizes that God has now spoken to us in His Son, marking a significant shift from how He spoke in times past through prophets. Hebrews 1:2 states that the messages delivered through prophets were partial and incomplete, while in Christ, we receive the fullness of God’s revelation. This finality signifies that nothing further is needed for understanding God's will and purpose. The new covenant established through Christ reveals not just God's commands, but His very heart and love for humanity, thus demonstrating a greater dignity and authority than the earlier revelations through flawed instruments.
