The Foundation of Grace

Commentators unanimously identify God's promise—"I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more"—as the absolute foundation of the new covenant. This isn't just one blessing among many; scholars like Calvin and Gill explain it is the source from which all other covenant blessings flow. Our relationship with God is built not on our efforts, but on His free and total forgiveness through Christ.
