How do we know that God's covenant is a covenant of grace?

Answered in 1 source

God's covenant is described as a covenant of grace because it is based on His unmerited favor and sovereign will, not on human works.

The covenant of grace is fundamentally different from a covenant of works, as it emphasizes God's initiative and mercy rather than human effort. Throughout Scripture, including Galatians and Romans, it is made clear that salvation comes through faith in God's promises, not through works of the law. This aligns with the New Testament teaching that the grace of God is the basis for believers' acceptance and that it is through Christ's righteousness that they are declared just. Since the covenant originates from God and is fulfilled in Christ, it provides a certain assurance of salvation, as God's promises are faithful and immutable, ensuring that all whom He elects are guaranteed protection and blessing through faith.
