God's covenant assures us that salvation is a work of grace enacted through Christ's sacrifice (Ephesians 1:4-5).
God's covenant is central to the understanding of salvation within the Reformed theology. Ephesians 1:4-5 highlights that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, illustrating the pre-temporal promise of salvation. This covenant of grace emphasizes that our salvation is not based on our actions or decisions but on God’s sovereign choice and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Through this covenant, believers are assured that their sins were paid for at the cross and that they are secure in their standing before God. It is this understanding that instills profound confidence in the believer's heart, knowing that their salvation is anchored in God's unyielding promises.
