Covenant Theology - What Is It?

Covenant Theology - What Is It?
In the New Covenant, Jesus fulfills the law and offers salvation
to those who turn to Him. He does not fail as other humans had
but fulfills the covenant both as a human and as God. All the
earlier covenants find fulfillment in Jesus, who claims not to
abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17 ).
While much can be said and has been said regarding the
details and other examples of Covenant theology in Scripture,
it is clear this system of theology has had a profound impact in
the lives of many. Its focus on God's Word as divinely inspired,
of salvation by grace through faith alone in Christ alone, and its
focus on God's supremacy in offering redemption from sin and
providing the solution through the sacrifice of Jesus on the
cross have profoundly transformed many.
