Does the term Covenant of Grace give anyone pause as grace is used in different ways? John Chaney "having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith . . ." Colossians 2:7

Grace is God's favour and love betowed upon those who merit the exact opposite. It works through salvation (Eph. 2:8), His sustaining, day-by-day dealings with us (Grace and peace...) and is summed up in His covanental realationship with us (Covanent of grace). Grace means the same thing in every case. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean...? (Latin phrase goes here.)
