What did Jesus do to establish the new covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus established the new covenant through His sacrificial death, shedding His blood for the remission of sins.

Jesus established the new covenant during the Last Supper when He stated, 'This is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins' (Matthew 26:28). By offering Himself as the perfect sacrificial Lamb, Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the old sacrificial system, making way for a direct relationship with God without the need for continual animal sacrifices. This new covenant, as articulated in Hebrews 8, is built on better promises and assures believers that their sins are forgiven and that they have eternal life in Him. Thus, the new covenant is an essential component of the Christian faith, emphasizing God's grace and mercy.
