Why is the New Covenant better than the Old Covenant?

Hebrews emphasizes that the New Covenant is established upon better promises and by a better sacrifice (Hebrews 8:6). The Old Covenant, with its repeated sacrifices, was never meant to offer true atonement; it served as a precursor to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. Through Christ's death, believers are not only forgiven but perfected forever (Hebrews 10:14). The New Covenant signifies a relationship with God that is secure, in which believers are viewed as righteous in Christ, eliminating the need for ongoing sacrifices that marked the Old Covenant.
