How do we know the everlasting covenant is true?

Answered in 7 sources

The everlasting covenant is true because it is based on God's unchanging nature and has been established before the foundation of the world.

The truth of the everlasting covenant is affirmed through the immutability of God—God cannot change, and His promises are eternal. This covenant, made before time began, secures the believer's salvation and is described as 'ordered in all things and sure.' It is essential to understand that this covenant is not contingent upon human actions or merits but is rooted in God's purpose and grace. Hebrews 8:7-12 outlines the nature of this new covenant, highlighting that it replaces the previous covenant based on works, illustrating how God has made provision for His people through divine mercy and grace.
