What Does the Bible Say About Covenant
PSALM 105:8-11
He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac, which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance.”
LUKE 22:20
And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
MATTHEW 26:28
For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
HEBREWS 13:20
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant
The covenant is an agreement between two parties. It was often ratified through blood (life). The beautiful truth of covenant is that God, in his covenant with us, always initiates them and he offers the blood as the seal!
