Why is understanding the covenants vital for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Understanding the covenants is crucial as they reveal God's eternal plan for redemption and our relationship with Him.
Covenants in the Bible reflect the framework of God's promises to His people, showing how He relates to humanity throughout history. The eternal covenant establishes the foundation of grace through Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection fulfill God's promises made since the days of Abraham. The assurance that 'the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions' emphasizes that God's people are heirs of His promises. These themes lead us to understand the depth of God's grace and faithfulness, as He has committed to redeem and restore His chosen ones.
