1. Covenant SignsRainbow, Circumcision
A COVENANT can be simply defined asan agreement between two parties
based upon promises made by eitherone or by both parties.
A covenant is usually sealed with at
least one symbol. The symbol itself isnot the covenant but an indicator that
a person is obligated to a covenant.

Galatians 3:21-29 NKJVIS THE law against the promise of

2. Covenant PromisesLocal and International
COVENANTS ARE based onpromises.In fact, it is possible to use the two
terms interchangeably.
In the Old Testament, somecovenants were local and limited
affairs (Jacob and Laban).When those to whom the treatyapplied had died, the terms of the
treaty would be irrelevant.

2. Covenant PromisesLocal and International
Unlike this covenant made betweenhumans, the covenants that Yahwehinstituted with Noah and Abraham
have everlasting implications.In the case with Abraham, God sawhumanitys need for righteousness,
and so He promised to provide ablessing for all nations through
Abrahams seed (Gen. 22:18)

2. Covenant PromisesTablet of the Covenant
Although a covenant is based onpromises, there are usually
conditions to meet before the
promises are fulfilled. When Yahwehcovenanted with Israel, He engravedthe requirements on tablets of stone.
The Ten Commandments, were to
form the basis of Gods everlasting
covenant with all humans.

2. Covenant PromisesTablet of the Covenant
Under the new covenant at MountCalvary, Gods people are still
obligated to keep the TenCommandments.
However, when they sin they dont
have to offer continuous sacrifices,because Jesus is their full and
complete sacrifice (Heb. 9:1114).

YAHWEH WARNED Abraham that anymale who was not circumcised
would be cut off from the chosen(Gen. 17:14), and

toward those who refused to abideby the terms of the Sinai covenant(Deut. 27:1126).

Ultimately, those who violated theterms of the covenant would be
punished with death (Ezek. 18:4).
The same is true for the newcovenant: those who refuse to keep
Gods law are also denied access toeternal life (Rom. 6:23).

3. Covenant BenefitsThe Covenant and the Gospel
In many instances people canexperience the promises of a
covenant before all the terms are
even met.Those who enter into a covenant
with God can also start toexperience the benefits of the
covenant before the promises are
actualized in the future.
