The covenant of grace is God's eternal agreement to save His people through the work of Jesus Christ.
The covenant of grace is an eternal agreement enacted within the Godhead before the foundation of the world. It encompasses the plan for the salvation of a chosen people through the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ, the mediator. According to the Scripture, God the Father elects individuals for salvation, the Son carries out the redemptive work through His life, death, and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit applies the benefits of that work to believers. This covenant provides a framework for understanding God's saving actions throughout history, illustrating His unwavering commitment to His elect. As seen in 2 Timothy 1:9, the purpose of this covenant was established before time, showcasing the depth of God's grace and purpose in salvation.
