Why is God's covenant of grace significant for believers?

Answered in 1 source

God's covenant of grace assures believers that their salvation is rooted in Christ's righteousness, not their works.

The covenant of grace is significant because it underscores that salvation is entirely dependent on God's initiative and not on human effort. According to Ephesians 1:4-5, believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, meaning that God's grace precedes any action on our part. This assurance liberates believers from the burden of earning their salvation, as seen in Romans 8:33-34, where it affirms that 'who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.' The covenant highlights the profound truth that all of our standing with God is based on Christ's completed work, thus giving believers confidence and security in their relationship with God.
