What does the Bible say about the bond of the covenant?
Answered in 1 source
The bond of the covenant refers to God's sovereign will and work in marking out His people and their relationship with Him.
The bond of the covenant is a crucial concept in understanding God's relationship with His people. In Ezekiel 20:37, God states, 'I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.' This bond signifies not just a ritualistic act but rather the profound work of God in establishing a relationship with His chosen ones, characterized by His sovereign will and grace. The Old Testament imagery of sheep passing under the rod connects to God's election—a sign of His love and choice for His people, as seen in Romans 8:29 where Paul writes about those whom God foreknew and predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son.
