How does the rainbow symbolize God's covenant of grace?

Answered in 1 source

The rainbow symbolizes God's everlasting covenant of grace that He established through Christ for His people (Genesis 9:13).

The rainbow is more than a beautiful sight; it epitomizes God's everlasting covenant of grace. In Genesis 9:13, God sets His bow in the cloud as a token of His promise. This covenant is reflective of the greater covenant of grace that was established through Christ's sacrifice. The empty bow signifies that divine justice has been satisfied in Christ, and just as God keeps His promise not to flood the earth again, He keeps His promise to save and preserve those chosen in Christ. This continuity of covenant assurance enhances our understanding of God's faithfulness throughout Scripture.
