The Covenants

The Old Covenant
God's Part:
He promised to bless His people
He would give them possession of the land of Canaan
He would make known His will to them
He would send then the Messiah
He would use them to make Christ known to the world
Deut. 11:22-27;4:13,Gen. 12:1-3, and Ex. 19:5,6

Israel's Part:
The people were to yield obedience and to cooperate with all God's requirements. This was to be done by bringing God's grace and power into their lives. Ex.19:4-6; Duet. 4:13, 36-40.

When was it made? It was first with Abraham and His posterity that is became fully and wholly effective (Gen. 12:1-3).
How was it sealed? By blood sacrifices (Ex. 24:5-8).
How was it broken? In rejecting and crucifying Christ the jewish people renounced the covenant and were rejected as the chosen people(Matt. 21:43).
