The Covenant

<p>As the children of God we have a covenant with God. A covenant is similar to an agreement or a binding contract. By the Covenant of Grace we are redeemed and liberated from our sins and former life of carnality. Yet we also have a part to play even though we may not always think so. Our part is to love God to obey Him to follow His Word to have no other 'gods' to lead holy and pure lives and to fulfil the Great Commission. It is a call to uphold the Ten Commandments. Jesus gave all His Blood for the Covenant which ensures our eternal life provision and protection. How often do we truly stand still and contemplate the Covenant? We often think of Jesus' death and ascension solely in light of redeeming us from sin yet His Blood was shed to ratify (sign or give formal consent to a treaty contract or agreement therefore making it officially valid) the Covenant. By our spiritual covenant we are betrothed unto God and we will one day celebrate the marriage with the feast in heaven. In this volume of work we look at the importance of the Covenant and the absolute necessity to honour and uphold it. God is not one to be mocked and trifled with. He is holy mighty and glorious. As His creation we need to pay attention to Him to His order and to truth. May we worship Him and walk in His holiness as Covenant-keeping servants of the Most High.</p>
