How do we know the covenant of grace is true?

Answered in 87 sources

The covenant of grace is confirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in the promises made to Abraham and its fulfillment in Christ's mediation (Galatians 3:17, Romans 15:8).

The truth of the covenant of grace is firmly established in Scripture, beginning with God’s promises to Abraham, which serve as the foundation for His dealings with humanity. Galatians 3:17 clearly indicates that the covenant made with Abraham cannot be annulled by the law, showcasing the permanence and reliability of God's promises. Furthermore, Romans 15:8 affirms that Christ came to confirm the promises made to the fathers, indicating that the covenant of grace is not a new construct but rather the fulfillment of God's everlasting plan for redemption. This covenant emphasizes grace over works, inviting believers to understand their salvation as rooted in Christ's redemptive work rather than human effort.
