The Everlasting Covenant is that:
May 2008
God will never abandon His creation.
For sinless beings
• The center of God’s relationship (covenant) to Creation is the Law of God.
• This law is the Moral Law of Ten Commandments; and all the laws of science and of daily life.
• The terms of this law are very simple: Obey and live, disobey and die.
• This pleasant law came from God, and Adam and Eve were happy to obey.
After Adam sinned
The everlasting covenant of grace was given by God.
This covenant offered pardon and focused on Jesus Christ, "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8).
The covenant promise is "I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people" (Heb 8:10).
Our response
• The covenant response is to believe His word, keep (hear) His law.
• The covenant mandate is to consent to the work of grace in the life.
• The covenant signs are: rainbow, Sabbath, circumcision, baptism, and the Lord’s supper.
• He calls us to worship Him, in the sanctuary service before Christ, and in the church afterward.
All God’s blessings flow from the Cross of Christ including life, land, descendants, protection, and prosperity.
