How does the concept of 'covenant' relate to believers as strangers?

Answered in 1 source

The covenant assures believers that they are secure in Christ while living as strangers in a foreign land.

The sermon emphasizes that through God's covenant of grace, believers have a secure relationship with Him, which influences how they view their status as strangers in this world. Just as Judah acted as a surety, Christ has fulfilled this role for believers, guaranteeing their salvation. The concept of covenant signifies that God has chosen His people, ensuring that against the backdrop of a hostile world, they remain secure in His promises. Thus, while believers navigate their lives in Babylon, they can do so with the assurance that they are bound by a covenant that upholds their identity in Christ, providing them with hope and strength amidst trials.
