How do we know the covenant between Christ and the Church is true?

Answered in 1 source

The covenant between Christ and the Church is affirmed through scripture and the personal experience of regenerating grace in believers' lives.

The truth of the covenant between Christ and the Church is established in scripture, particularly in Isaiah 54:5, which describes God as the Maker and Husband of His people. This relational metaphor assures believers of the binding commitment God has made with His chosen ones. Furthermore, the historical act of redemption guarantees the validity of this covenant, as demonstrated through Christ’s sacrificial atonement, fulfilling God's promise to restore His people.

Moreover, the experiential evidence of regeneration in believers’ lives serves as a testament to the truth of this covenant. As individuals are transformed by the Holy Spirit, they come to experience the reality of their union with Christ, affirming the words of truth in the scriptures. This covenant is not just a theological concept but is actively lived out in the lives of believers, ensuring that they are kept secure in Christ’s love.
