How is the new covenant different from the old covenant?

Answered in 2 sources

The new covenant is different from the old because it is established on spiritual promises and involves internal transformation rather than external adherence to the law.

The new covenant differs fundamentally from the old covenant in its nature and operation. While the old covenant—given at Sinai—was primarily focused on external laws and rituals, the new covenant emphasizes an internal transformation, as articulated in Hebrews 8:10. God promises to write His laws on the hearts and minds of His people, fostering deeper obedience driven by a changed nature, rather than mere compliance with regulations. Furthermore, the promises associated with the new covenant are spiritual and eternal, offering lasting forgiveness and a personal relationship with God, unlike the conditional and temporal blessings of the old covenant (Hebrews 10:1-4). This profound shift underscores the completeness and finality of Christ's redemptive work.
