This website exists for the proclamation of God’s truth revealed
in Scripture – the way of everlasting life through
Jesus Christ.
The books, articles and true stories
provided here are committed to the biblical doctrines
recovered by the Church at the Reformation and taught by
the Puritans and their successors. May the Almighty God
prosper the work here and may He abundantly bless the
endeavours of all His people, sending His Holy Spirit
with power to shed forth the pure light of Christ.
The site is named “Covenant of
Grace” because that covenant establishes God’s mercy
and goodwill to man. The covenant was made in eternity
between God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
Before the world’s foundation God covenanted to
give His only Son as a ransom, a sinless sacrifice, for
the salvation of sinners. The Word of God says, “Mercy
shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou
establish in the very heavens. I have made a covenant
with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy
seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne
to all generations”
(Psalm 89:2-4).
King David was an ancestor of
Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:1), and figuratively represented
Him, as the Apostle Peter tells us (Acts
2:25-35).
Matthew Henry’s commentary on Psalm 89 says: “The
covenant is made with David; the covenant of royalty is
made with him, as the father of his family, and with his
seed through him and for his sake, representing the
covenant of grace made with Christ as head of the church
and with all believers as his spiritual seed.”
