WLC 32: How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

Answer: The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in that he freely provides and offers to sinners a Mediator1, and life and salvation by him2; and requiring faith as the condition to interest them in him3, promises and gives his Holy Spirit4 to all his elect, to work in them that faith5, with all other saving graces6; and to enable them unto all holy obedience7, as the evidence of the truth of their faith8 and thankfulness to God9, and as the way which he has appointed them to salvation.10
