The Everlasting Covenant

The Everlasting Covenant

God’s plan for the ages has already been in place way even before the universe existed and before man was created. His Everlasting Covenant was established before the foundation of the world and revealed to us when we are in Christ.

The New Covenant

The New Covenant in Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of all the Old Testament covenants. All the preceding covenants made during the periods of the Old Testament are foreshadows and types of the final, supreme and eternal covenant - the New Covenant of grace. The Old Testament prophets have prophesised, and Jesus has fulfilled each and every one of these prophecies. The body and blood of Jesus that was crucified and shed on the cross, is the only perfect, sinless and spotless sacrifice for sin once-for-all, forever and forever. The New Covenant promises abundant and eternal life to anyone who believe and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. The finished work of Christ on the cross is the cornerstone and foundation of our faith. We can boldly declare that He saves, heals, delivers, baptizes in the Holy Spirit and is coming again!

The Davidic Covenant

The Davidic Covenant was made with David when he was enthroned, after the death of Saul. This covenant reveals the lineage of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Through David’s seed and house, the everlasting Kingdom and throne of Jesus would be established. Jesus Himself is called the Son of David. As David was enthroned at Jerusalem, the city of David, we will see the greater Son of David, Jesus Christ, crowned with many crowns in Jerusalem too during the Millennial reign.

The Mosaic Covenant

The Mosaic Covenant was made with the nation of Israel at Mount Sinai, after the exodus from Egyptian bondage. The Mosaic Covenant is filled with conditions – “if you obey” and “if you do this”. There is blessing for those who obey the law (according to Deuteronomy 28:1 to 14) and curse (according to Deuteronomy 28:15 to 19) for those who break it. In many ways, it promotes righteousness by works and self-effort. While the law is good, it is meant to be a “schoolmaster” to bring Israel to the coming Messiah and Saviour Jesus Christ. This covenant is to foreshadow and prepare the way for the New Covenant of grace. It was the foundation of the greater promise to come, and would find perfect fulfilment only in the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus was the only Man who ever kept the demands of the law fully and completely. Outward ritual cannot remove sins, but inward faith in the Lord and His finished work on the cross!
