The Covenant
This month I want to learn more about the covenant that God talks about in the Bible. I never truly understood it. So, I wanted to dive more into it.
First, let’s define covenant. A covenant is an agreement between God and his people in which God makes certain promises and requires certain behavior from us in return. It is a two-way promise. When we enter a covenant with God, we promise to keep his commandment, and in return God will keep his. Through-out the bible, the different covenant that God made is the framework of how the bible is put together. God makes covenant with different people like Abraham (Abrahamic Covenant), Noah (Noahic Covenant), Moses: people of Israel (Mosaic Covenant), David (Davidic Covenant) and the New Covenant. I am not going to focus on these different covenants. However, research them for mor understanding. We are going to talk about the, God covenant with us, New Covenant, and the covenant of protection
Who does God keep His covenant with?
- Deuteronomy 31:8
- Psalms 103:17-18

The New Covenant is a promise that God makes with us that He will forgive our sin and restore communion with those who believes in his son, Jesus Christ.

The Covenant of Protection: This is the part I struggle with the most (to be honest) because so much is happening in the world. So, I must dive into this word about the covenant of protection.
