Throughout the Old Testament, God makes covenants with His people. A covenant is an agreement or a promise. We can see that God initiated covenants several times with different people to accomplish His purposes in and through them. The first covenant we find in scripture is the Noahic Covenant, between God and Noah after the great flood. God promised Noah that He would never flood the entire earth again, and He sent a rainbow to symbolize His promise.

We later see the Abrahamic Covenant initiated by God. This is a unilateral, progressive covenant in which God told Abram to leave his home and go to the land He promised to give him. He promises to make a great nation through him. Abram left his home, traveled to a new land, received a new name, Abraham, and fathered Isaac at the age of 99.

Next, we see the Mosaic Covenant between God and Moses for the people of Israel. This covenant was also known as the Law, and God promised blessing to the Israelites if they would obey the commandments of the Lord. But, this bi-lateral covenant also carried consequence for disobedience. Scripture revealed that the Israelites could not keep the Law. They could not obtain righteousness on their own. They needed a Savior.

The Davidic Covenant promised that Savior. God established this covenant with David and foretold the Messiah would come through the lineage of David.

The Old Testament concludes with a failed remnant of Israel living in desolate drudgery, unable to keep the Law, and unable to save themselves. But that is not the end of the story! The prophet Jeremiah, alongside Isaiah and others, foretold of the Messiah, who would forge a New Covenant and fulfill the Law! Jesus is that Messiah; God’s Son and our Savior.

PRAYER:

Father God, I stand in absolute awe of Your creation. You, oh Lord, are amazing, and I am so thankful and humbled that You created me.
