The Covenant of Grace

Summary

The sermon explores the covenant of grace, emphasizing that it is a unilateral promise from God to save and sustain His people, not a mutual contract. It contrasts the old Mosaic covenant, which was based on obedience and often broken by Israel, with the new covenant established through Jesus Christ, where God's laws are written on believers' hearts. The preacher highlights that true members of the covenant are those who know and rejoice in the Lord, sustained by God's ongoing presence, teaching, and preservation. The central promise is God's commitment: "I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people," encompassing salvation, guidance, and eternal relationship.
