A covenant is a contract or agreement between two or more parties. Covenant is how God has chosen to communicate to us. To redeem us and to guarantee us eternal life in Jesus. These truth revealed in the Bible are the basis of our Christianity.
The Bible is a covenant document both the Old and New Testament are the Old and New covenants of God.
The word ‘Testament’ is Latin for Covenant. God gave eternal covenant as disclosed in Hebrew 13:20 God made a covenant in regards to His elects even before the universe was formed (John 6:39; 17:9, 24)
Son was made man covenant (Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 2:5) Son became lower than the angel (Hebrew 2:7) died for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2; 1 Peter 2:24). The Father raised the son from dead (Psalm 2).
Eternal Covenant leads to the covenant of Grace. Covenant of grace was made by the Father to man on eternal salvation based on the sacrificial death of Christ Jesus and the atonement by His blood.
