What does 'everlasting covenant' mean in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

'Everlasting covenant' refers to God's unbreakable promise of salvation, rooted in His righteousness.

The phrase 'everlasting covenant' signifies God's unwavering commitment to His people and the assurance of salvation that is rooted in His righteousness. In 2 Samuel 23, David acknowledges this covenant, indicating that despite personal failures and tragedies, God's promise remains firm and secure. This concept is pivotal to understanding salvation in Reformed theology, which teaches that God's covenants are sovereignly initiated and maintained. In Christ, believers experience this everlasting covenant, as it is through His righteousness that they are justified and welcomed into eternal relationship with God. The assurance of the everlasting covenant emphasizes that salvation is accomplished not by human merit but solely by God's grace.
