Covenant Theology
“God deserves our fellowship and longs to have a covenant relationship with us”.A Covenant is an agreement or relationship between two people or between God and man. It includes a promise, a condition, a penalty and a provision. It also involves obligations and benefits for performance. In general there are three types of Covenant: A Covenant imposed upon one party by a superior party When God wants to govern, relate to or establish a relationship with human beings he does it through a Covenant. When the Bible uses the word “Covenant” to describe the relationship between God and man, it indicates a gracious responsibility that God has entered into for our benefit and God will bless those who will receive the promises due to their faith and who commit themselves to the obligations which this task involves. In this assignment I will concentrate on Gods Covenant with man, in particular I will be looking at Gods Covenant with Adam, Noah, Abraham and Israel and emphasise why Covenants are an important theme for Biblical studies and Christianity as a whole.
