The Bible reveals that God made a conditional covenant with Israel, which ultimately pointed to the new, unconditional covenant established through Christ.
The Bible describes two significant covenants: the old covenant with Israel, which was conditional and based on their obedience, and the new covenant established through Jesus Christ, which is unconditional. In Hebrews 8:7-13, it clarifies that the first covenant had faults primarily due to human infidelity. This new covenant promises that God's laws would be written in the hearts and minds of His people, signifying a relationship based on grace rather than law. As God's people, we are now under the everlasting covenant made before the foundation of the world, showcasing His unchanging purpose amidst human unfaithfulness.
