Have you ever wondered what the biblical covenants are all about?
In the Old Testament, God made covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses and David. These covenants were essentially promises by God, which were sealed and agreed by their recipients. Although no human has ever fully kept God's laws or covenants, He is faithful. And God promised that ultimately, there would be a new covenant. This covenant was established by Jesus, who was both God and Man.
What can we learn from this? We see that God is faithful. 1 Timothy 2:11-13, "The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself."
No matter what we do or do not do, God is always worthy of our faith and trust. Ultimately, it is His plans that will come to pass and by putting our faith in Jesus, we are covered by the new covenant which fulfils the promises of all of the other previous covenants. Is your faith in God today?
