We know God's covenants are true because they are established through His word and are fulfilled according to His sovereign will (Genesis 9:16).
God's covenants, particularly the covenant made with Noah after the flood, serve as a testament to His faithfulness and sovereignty. In Genesis 9:16, God promises never to destroy the earth again with a flood, and the symbol of the rainbow acts as a reminder of this promise. This covenant is not contingent on human actions but rather reflects God's unchanging character and purpose. Throughout scripture, covenantal relationships are confirmed by God through specific signs and fulfilled promises, reinforcing the truth that His covenants are established according to His divine will and not based on human merit.
