What does Hebrews teach about the old and new covenants?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews contrasts the old covenant based on law with the new covenant based on grace through Christ's death.

The Book of Hebrews illustrates a stark contrast between the old covenant, characterized by laws and commandments, and the new covenant, which is based on grace and the redemptive work of Christ. The old covenant required strict adherence to the law with no inherent provision for assistance or forgiveness, leading to condemnation (Galatians 3:10). In contrast, the new covenant is established through Christ's blood, which secures grace, mercy, and forgiveness, making it possible for believers to fulfill God's righteous demands through His strength and provision.
