God's covenant is everlasting because it is based on His unchanging nature and faithfulness, as seen in biblical covenants like that with David (2 Samuel 23:5).
The nature of God as unchanging and faithful is foundational to understanding His covenants as everlasting. In 2 Samuel 23:5, David expresses that God made with him an everlasting covenant, which underscores the certainty and unwavering promise of God's commitments. This covenant is not conditioned on human performance, but rather is established solely by God's sovereign will. The Book of Hebrews further elaborates on the permanence of God's covenant, stating that He will put His laws into their minds and write them on their hearts (Hebrews 8:10).
