This article is designed to explore the theological harmony between the doctrine of "unconditional election" and covenant theology and its implications for the spiritual life of the congregation. "Unconditional election" is the concept where God chooses individuals for salvation without regard to their conditions or efforts. Covenant theology frames the interaction between God and humanity through covenants. The harmonization between the doctrine of "unconditional election" and covenant theology centres on the redemptive work and obedience of Jesus Christ on the cross. This obedience of Jesus Christ results in human salvation without any human effort. It also allows humans to experience the covenant of grace without any human effort. Through a qualitative descriptive research method, the theological harmonization between the doctrine of "unconditional election" and covenant theology will be explored to draw spiritual implications for the congregation. The harmonization of "unconditional election" and covenant theology brings individual spiritual well-being and assurance and fosters communal growth.
Keywords: harmony; unconditional election; covenant theology
