How do Christians take hold of the covenant of grace?

Answered in 1 source

Christians take hold of the covenant of grace by faith in Jesus Christ and appropriating the promises within.

Taking hold of the covenant of grace begins with letting go of all reliance on personal works and resting solely on Christ’s finished work. As the preacher emphasizes, we must approach the covenant with empty hands, relying on Christ alone for salvation (Galatians 5:4). Following this initial act of faith, believers are called to continually lay hold of the covenant by trusting in God's promises through prayer, confession, and worship. This means actively engaging with the covenantal promises, such as assurance of forgiveness, the presence of God, and preservation until the end. By continually seeking and appropriating God's grace, believers experience the fullness and richness of life in Christ, which is the essence of living out the covenant.
