How do we know grace is part of the covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is integrated into the covenant as seen in God's promise of restoration despite the law's demands.

In Deuteronomy, while the covenant emphasizes the obedience required by the law, it also intertwines grace through God's promises of restoration. The renewal of the covenant acknowledges the failures of the previous generations and includes promises of future grace, such as in Deuteronomy 30:4-6, where God promises to gather His people and circumcise their hearts, signifying an inner transformation. This blend of law and grace indicates that the covenant is not solely about adherence to rules but also about God's unrelenting mercy towards His people, manifesting His salvific plan throughout Scripture.
