When we begin to define a Covenant, we can look in to a dictionary and find a definition much like this one:
Solemn agreement: a solemn agreement that is binding on all parties, legally binding agreement: a formal and legally binding agreement or contract such as a lease, or one of the clauses in an agreement of this kind.Lawsuit for breach of agreement: a lawsuit for damages that is brought because of the breaking of a legal covenant.
Synonyms: contract · arrangement · covenant · treaty · promise · pact · settlement
Yet you and I can find so much more by turning to scripture. We see it's life giving properties being defined by God. Today, let's look at The Book and see if we can at least scratch the surface of the meaning of a covenant with God.
