    Our Covenant
    With GOD

    What is a Covenant?

    Cov-e-nant
    It is a solemn agreement between parties which they commit themselves to.

    Two Types of Covenant Relationships

    Between parties equal in power and position


    Contract entered into with both parties agreeing with their own will and not bestowed by someone else.

    The Treaty at Beersheba


    At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his
    forces said to Abraham, "God is with you in everything you do. Now swear to me here before God that you will not deal

    falsely with me or my children or my descendants. Show to


    me and the country where you are living as an alien the same kindness I have shown to you." Abraham said, "I swear it." Then Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized. But Abimelech said, "I don't know who has done this. You did not tell me, and I heard about it only today

    The Treaty at Beersheba


    So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a treaty. Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock, and Abimelech asked Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs you have set apart by themselves?" He replied, "Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness that I dug this well." So that place was called Beersheba, because the two men swore an oath there. After the treaty had been made at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his

    forces returned to the land of the Philistines.

    GENESIS 21: 22-31

    Between parties unequal in power and position


    It is unilaterally bestowed by the greater on the lesser.

    After the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
