The covenant/promise of the Lord Our God Explanation: Explanation: Tratado = treaty, contract, pact In biblical terms usually expressed as covenant or promise What is a Covenant? Bible Definition and Meaning - Bible Study Tools www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/covenant/ The covenant meaning of binding or establishing an relationship between two parties is often mentioned in the Bible - both between people and God. Learn the ... The Promise of our Lord Jesus Christ – Power of the Gospel www.powerofthegospel.net/the-promise-of-our-lord-jesus-chri... 3 Dec 2016 - The Promise of our Lord Jesus Christ. For todays reflections please take the Gospel of John 14: 16 and 17. John 14:26 and 27. 16 And I will ... Of the covenants found in the Pentateuch or Torah or the first five books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, the Noahic Covenant is unique in applying to all humanity, while the other covenants are principally agreements made between God and the biblical Israelites. Covenant (biblical) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenant_(biblical) How does God relate to man? Since the creation of the world, God’s relationship to man has been defined by specific requirements and promises. God tells people how he wants them to act and also makes promises about how he will act toward them in various circumstances. The Bible contains several summaries of the provisions that define the different relationships between God and man that occur in Scripture, and it often calls these summaries “covenants.” With respect to covenants between God and man in Scripture, we may give the following definition: A covenant is an unchangeable, divinely imposed legal agreement between God and man that stipulates the conditions of their relationship. Although this definition includes the word agreement in order to show that there are two parties, God and man, who must enter into the provisions of the relationship, the phrase “divinely imposed” is also included to show that man can never negotiate with God or change the terms of the covenant: he can only accept the covenant obligations or reject them. Probably for this reason the Greek translators of the Old Testament (known as the Septuagint), and, following them, the New Testament authors, did not use the ordinary Greek word for contracts or agreements in which both parties were equal (συνθήκη), but rather chose a less common word, διαθήκη (G1347) which emphasized that the provisions of the covenant were laid down by one of the parties only. (In fact, the word διαθήκη was often used to refer to a “testament” or “will” that a person would leave to assign the distribution of his or her goods after death.) This definition also notes that covenants are “unchangeable.” They may be superseded or replaced by a different covenant, but they may not be changed once they are established. Although there have been many additional details specified in the covenants God has made with man throughout the history of Scripture, the essential element at the heart of all of them is the promise, “I will be their God, and they shall be my people” (Jer. 31:33; 2 Cor. 6:16; et al.). Since the covenant relationship between God and man occurs in various forms throughout Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, a treatment of this subject might be put at several different points in the study of systematic theology. I have put it here at the end of the treatment of man as created (in the image of God) and man as fallen into sin, but before the discussion of the person and work of Christ. |
