The covenant of grace is God's eternal promise that He will save sinners through faith in Jesus Christ, highlighting His mercy and sovereignty.
The covenant of grace is foundational in Reformed theology, representing God's gracious agreement to save a people for Himself through the work of Christ. According to Hebrews 10:16-17, God promises to put His laws into the hearts of His people and forget their sins. This covenant was established before the foundation of the world and reveals that salvation is not based on human works but solely on God’s unmerited grace bestowed through faith in Jesus Christ. Those who are part of this covenant have been given hearts to believe, enabling them to respond to the gospel and experience true forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
