God's covenant of grace is affirmed in the Scriptures and is exemplified through His promises and actions throughout redemptive history.
The covenant of grace is a central theme throughout the Bible, beginning with God's promises to Adam and continuing through the patriarchs to its fulfillment in Christ. This covenant guarantees salvation for all whom God has chosen. In 2 Samuel 9, we see this illustrated through David's kindness to Mephibosheth, which represents God's grace toward the helpless. As David remembers his covenant with Jonathan, it reflects God’s unwavering commitment to His promises. Additionally, passages like Romans 8:28 remind us that all things work together for good to those who love God, underscoring the faithfulness of God's covenant. The historical account of the Israelites and the fulfillment of God's promises in Christ serve as evidence that His covenant of grace is unchanging and morally binding.
