EIGHT BIBLICAL COVENANTS – Part 1

TUESDAY, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 2022.

Topic: EIGHT BIBLICAL COVENANTS – Part 1

MEMORIZE: “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” Col. 2: 10.

SCRIPTURE READING: “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.” 1 Cor. 15:45-47.

EXPOSITION:

The term “Covenant” means God’s dealings with His people in the various dispensations of the world’s history. The Holy Scriptures by their familiar title keep this thought before us as Old Testament and New Testament / Covenant, the writings produced within the Jewiish “Church” being the writings of the Old Covenant, those within the Christian Church, the Scriptures of the New Covenant. The alternative name “Testament” – adopted into our English description through the Latin, as equivalent of the Hebrew “berith” and the Greek “diatheke”, which both mean a solemn disposition, compact or contract – suggests the disposition of property in a last will or testament. 

To all the fathers of faith, God established covenant. Through this week, we shall examine these covenant one-by-one. But today, let us look at those Covenants:

(1) The Edenic Covenant - (Gen. 1:26), conditioned the life of man in innocency.

(2) The Adamic Covenant - (Gen. 3:14) conditions the life of fallen man and gives promise of a Redeemer.

(3) The Noahic Covenant - (Gen. 9:1) establishes the principle of human government.

(4) The Abrahamic Covenant - (Gen. 15:18) founds the nation of Israel, and confirms, with specific additions, the Adamic promise of redemption.

(5) The Mosaic Covenant - (Exod. 19:25) condemns all men, "for that all have sinned."

(6) The Palestinian Covenant - (Deut. 30:3) secures the final restoration and conversion of Israel.

(7) The Davidic Covenant - (2 Sam. 7:16) establishes the perpetuity of the Davidic family (fulfilled in Christ), (Matt. 1:1; Luke 1:31-33; Rom. 1:3) and of the Davidic kingdom, over Israel, and over the whole earth; to be fulfilled in and by Christ. (2 Sam 7:8-17; Zech. 12:8; Luke 1:31-33; Acts 15:14-17; 1Cor. 15:24).

(8) The New Covenant rests upon the sacrifice of Christ, and secures the eternal blessedness, under the Abrahamic Covenant (Gal. 3:13-29) of all who believe. It is absolutely unconditional, and, since no responsibility is by it committed to man, it is final and irreversible.

 

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Jesus Christ is all in all, the power that sustains the world till today. Praise Him now and always.
