BIBLICAL COVENENTS

Biblical Covenants

Introduction

The covenant, a central concept in the Bible and in Christian theology, designates the relationship between God and his people by analogy with privileged relations that men establish with each other by contract. This relationship, which is often described with the use of categories borrowed from nature or the fabrication of material objects, is projected into the field of individual and collective existence. In Bible, numbers of covenants are formulated between man and God and they are taken as articulations of the story of Salvation.

Explanation

The idea of the covenant goes back to the Hebrew word Berît which means "oath." The Bible reveals that God has been pleased to establish covenants with men. Eight of these agreements are mentioned in the sacred pages and they incorporate the most vital events in the relationship man had with God throughout the history of mankind. Each covenant is for a divine purpose and most of them are an absolute prediction as well as an unalterable promise of fulfillment of all that God has given.
