Similar to John Locke’s ideas about the position of government in relationship to the people it oversees, there is a bipartisan relationship between God and his people.

According to the Bible, the Ark of the Covenant has been in existence since the time of Moses and the Israelites' exodus of Egypt. The Bible further explains the Ark was created according to instructions given to Moses by God. After its completion, the Ark was carried by its staves in advance of the people or…

This “act of treachery against god” is breaking the covenant relationship with God since “any king other than YHWH is an intruder into the pristine covenant relationship” with his people. Levenson makes the point that, “Israel as a nation and the Israelites as an individual stand in the position of royal vassals of the divine suzerain.” This is interpreted…

The Old Testament focuses on the covenant made between God and the people of Israel through Abraham, while the New Testament replaces the old covenant with a new covenant between Christ and his followers. This becomes the belief that the actual enforcement of the law is not as important as serving its spirit, which is a spirit that is tempered by mercy…

Jew and Gentile and the internal nature of the covenant as stated in Jeremiah 31:31-33. Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband, says the Lord.

the realities of daily life. In stark contrast, Scriptures present marriage as a covenant. Viewed in the scriptural context of a covenant, marriage is a union of self-sacrificing love to become one with another.
