Biblical Covenant

A Biblical covenant is a formal, binding promise or agreement between God and humans. It establishes a relationship based on commitments, blessings, and responsibilities. For example, God's covenant with Noah promised never to flood the earth again, symbolized by the rainbow. Similarly, God's covenant with Abraham involved promises of land and descendants, leading to the nation of Israel. In the New Testament, Jesus' promise of salvation signifies a new covenant, offering eternal life. These covenants reveal God's ongoing relationship with humanity, emphasizing trust, faithfulness, and divine grace.
