The Bible reveals that God's covenant is rooted in His eternal purpose of grace, revealed through Christ to His saints.
The covenant of God is a foundational concept in Reformed theology, reflecting His eternal purpose of grace toward His elect. As stated in Psalm 25:14, 'The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him,' this covenant is intertwined with His redemptive plan, encompassing salvation through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 3 explains that this mystery has been hidden throughout the ages but is now disclosed to the saints, illustrating that the fullness of God's covenant is revealed in Christ Jesus, providing unsearchable riches and the hope of glory for believers. Additionally, the covenant underscores God’s initiative, as seen in Colossians 1, where it is described as a mystery revealed to His saints, not earned or worked for but given by grace.
