Years ago my wife and I found ourselves in a position where we needed to care for an ailing friend. We had served as witnesses to her will, and thus we were aware of how she wanted her affairs conducted. She had given me a measure of authority over her finances, and in addition, I could assume even greater authority if circumstances dictated the ne...
Since we are talking about the New Covenant, it would serve us well to understand what the Bible means by the term “covenant.” A covenant is an agreement; usually it is between two parties. In the ancient Near East, it was a kind of treaty by means of which rulers entered into a covenant relationship with their subjects. There are certain similarit...
The New Covenant should not be new to the student of Scripture. Not infrequently, it is the subject of Old Testament prophecy: “As for me, this is my promise to them,” says the Lord. “My spirit, who is upon you, and my words, which I have placed in your mouth, will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your children and descendants from ...
Having considered the better promises of the New Covenant from Jeremiah 31:31-34, we must now explore the relationship between the Abrahamic, Mosaic, and New Covenants. The Abrahamic Covenant comes first in the Bible, where we find it first stated in Genesis 12:1-3:11 1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relative...
8 But showing its fault, God says to them, “Look, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah” (Hebrews 8:8).

- Noahic Covenant. After Adam and Eve’s exile from Eden, the biblical narrative feels grim. In Genesis 4, Cain sides with the serpent, killing his brother in cold blood, and a man named Lamech brags about his murderous, chauvinistic ways.
- Abrahamic Covenant. After God makes a covenant with Noah, evil continues to ruin the world. Genesis 9-11 traces the downward spiral of humanity, and we’re left to wonder: How will God restore his good world?
- Mosaic Covenant. Exodus opens with Abraham’s offspring multiplying rapidly in Egypt, which threatens the new Pharaoh’s ego. He enslaves God’s people, and they cry out to God to rescue them.
- Davidic Covenant. God’s people enter Canaan (the promised land) and eventually demand a king, stoking their desire to be like other nations. (Already, we are seeing the people lose sight of their covenant at Mount Sinai.)
