A covenant is a divine agreement between God and His people, sealed by His unchanging promises. Unlike human contracts that can be broken, God's covenant is eternal and dependable. The Bible reveals God as a Covenant-Keeping God who remains faithful to His word, regardless of circumstances. Understanding this truth strengthens our faith and confidence in Him.

3. JESUS, THE MEDIATOR OF A NEW COVENANT

    Blessings follow those who obey God’s covenant instructions.
