Covenant
Quick answer
A covenant is a binding, relational bond God establishes with his people — promises and obligations that make them his and him theirs.
Overview
Covenant is the backbone of the Bible''s story. Unlike a mere contract, a covenant creates a personal bond — "I will be your God, and you will be my people." God cuts covenants with Noah, Abraham, Israel at Sinai, and David, each advancing one purpose, until Jeremiah promises a "new covenant" of the heart that Jesus seals "in my blood." To read Scripture covenantally is to see one unfolding relationship, not a scatter of rules.
