EIGHT BIBLICAL COVENANTS - Part 2

WEDNESDAY, 28TH SEPTEMBER, 2022.

Topic: EIGHT BIBLICAL COVENANTS – Part 2

MEMORIZE: “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” Matthew 1:1.

SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 9:1-4.

“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.” 

THE RELATION OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE EIGHT COVENANT AS FOLLOW:

(1) To the Edenic Covenant, Christ, as the "second Man," the "last Adam" (1Cor. 15:45-47) takes the place over all things which the first Adam lost. (Col. 2:10; Heb. 2:7-8).

(2) He is the "Seed of the woman" of the Adamic Covenant (Gen. 3:15; John 12:31; 1 John 3:8; Gal. 4:4; Rev. 20:10) and fulfilled its conditions of toil (Mark 6:3) and obedience.

(3) As the greatest son of Shem, in Him was fulfilled supremely the promise to Shem in the Noahic Covenant. Gen. 9:1; Col. 2:9.

(4) He is the "Seed to whom the promises were made" in the Abrahamic Covenant; the son of Abraham obedient unto death. (Gen. 22:18; Gal. 3:16; Phil. 2:8).

(5) He lived sinlessly under the Mosaic Covenant and bore for us its curse. (Gal. 3:10-13).

(6) He lived obediently as a Jew in the land under the Palestinian Covenant, and will yet perform it gracious promises. (Deut. 28:1-30; Deut. 28:9).

(7) He is the "Seed," "Heir," and "King" under the Davidic Covenant. (Matt. 1:1; Luke 1:31-33).

(8) His sacrifice is the foundation of the New Covenant. (Matt. 26:28; 1Cor. 11:25).

 

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Both Old and New Testaments centre on Jesus Christ. All covenants are types of Jesus. He is the fulfillment of them all. Celebrate Jesus now and always.
