What does the Bible say about Christ being better than the law?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews teaches that Christ is a surety of a better testament, making the law obsolete as it could not make anyone perfect.

The book of Hebrews emphasizes that Christ is better than the law, which is unable to make anyone righteous. Hebrews 7:19 states, 'For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did,' pointing to Christ as that better hope. The law served as a schoolmaster, revealing our sinfulness and our inability to achieve righteousness on our own. Paul reinforces this idea in Romans, explaining that justification cannot be attained by the deeds of the law, but through faith in Christ who fulfilled the law on our behalf.
