How does the covenant of grace work in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The covenant of grace is God's promise to save His elect, established through Christ's righteousness and sacrifice.

The covenant of grace is central to Reformed theology, signifying God's unchanging commitment to save His chosen people through Jesus Christ. This covenant was established before the foundation of the world, showing that salvation is not based on human merit but solely on God's initiative. As noted, Christ took hold of His people both in eternity and during His earthly ministry, fulfilling the requirements of God's law on their behalf. Believers are credited with His righteousness, enabling them to stand justified before God. Understanding the covenant of grace helps Christians see their identity in Christ and appreciate the depth of their salvation.
