...To worship God the Hebrews had to say no to the old covenant and its ceremonies, sacrifices, symbols, pictures and types. The old was gone - it was set aside. A new and better covenant had come, and they had to be willing to come to God in full confidence of the revealed faith of the New Testament. The New Covenant, in contrast to the Old, is not a system based on ceremonies, sacrifices, and external obedience to the law. Its truth is not veiled in types and figures.
John Macarthur
