A Covenant is an agreement or contract between two people. In the Bible, God himself made covenants. God made 8 great covenants, to the people that chose to believe in Him. Covenants are a big deal, usually, if you were to break one, you’d be cursed and the promises were not to be kept. God made 3 kinds of covenants with His people:general, conditional, and unconditional covenants, all to show how much he loves us, and the salvation He has in store.
God made general covenants in the Bible, meaning that the covenant wasn’t just to one group of people, but generally for a wide range of people, maybe even everyone. The first of these wide range covenants was the covenant that God made with Adam and Eve, also known as the Adamic Covenant. After …show more content…
Let’s just say, I think that may have knocked some sense into them. That covenant may have been broken, but God, being a God of mercy and love made a new covenant with them. We may do bad things, awful things, but God, is slow to anger and full of love, he will always pick us back up again and forgive us. God made unconditional covenants in the Bible. Unconditional covenants is an agreement where, no matter what you do, you’ll always be forgiven and the covenant will never be broken. This is one of the most grace and love filled covenants that there is, this covenant literally defines God. A great example of this kind of covenant is the covenant God made with Abraham.

“Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

This is the moment where I really see God as a father. He loves us so much, and wants us to trust that He will be there for us, and never let us go. not only this, but during a usual covenant, both parties walk through the split animals.

God doesn’t let Abram walk through, because, he knows that he will break the covenant, but it’s okay because has already forgiven him, and still wants to give him the blessings. God made three kinds of covenants in the Bible: General, conditional, and unconditional covenants, all to show how much he loves us and the salvation that he has in store. From the beginning of creation, from the beginning of the time when sin entered the world, God had a plan. God had a plan to save all of us, because he knew that we couldn’t help but sin against him. He made covenants with people to establish his plan of salvation. He never gave up on us, not once, and he won’t start
