Covenants of Promise
The God of the Old Testament Part 5
God progressively revealed His divine purpose through a series of covenants. Each covenant deepened God’s relationship with humanity and moved His plan of redemption closer to fulfillment. The covenant with Noah was Jesus’ promise to never again to destroy all life by flood and the rainbow in the sky was a symbol of His mercy and faithfulness.
The covenant with Abraham promised him innumerable descendants and the land from Egypt to the Euphrates. This was later reaffirmed with Isaac and Jacob as well.
The covenant with the nation of Israel on Mount Sinai expressed Jesus’ holiness and His expectation of mankind’s conduct. It marked Israel’s commitment to obey the Son of God and established them as His chosen people. The previous covenants were made with individuals, but Mount Sinai was decidedly different because it was a covenant with an entire nation.
