What Is Covenant?

Covenant is God's word of promise with an oath that cannot be broken. In ancient times, covenant vows were sealed in the death of a sacrificial animal. God's everlasting covenant is sealed in the blood of His Son (Hebrews 13:20-21). God's covenant word in the Bible is for every believer in Christ.

Covenant is God's word of promise forever. Our faith in God, the forgiveness of our sins, our eternal destiny, and God's work in our lives are all forever. Forever O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89). God's covenant word is based upon an oath forever.

Covenant is God's word guaranteed. His oath of covenant promises are for every believer in Christ. Jesus is our surety or guarantee to the covenant promises that cannot be broken (Hebrews 7:22). The Bible declares God's word is forever settled in heaven. That's God's covenant word to every believer. 

Covenant is God's word to every believer in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). We read the covenant promises in the Bible, which are forever the same. God has sworn with a covenant oath, and will not repent. He will not change His mind. God, who cannot lie, promised before time began (Titus 1:2). That's God's covenant promises for every believer in Christ.
