Our covenant with God through Christ is the very basis of our faith. He has committed Himself with absolute loyalty to ensure that all that was lost in Adam is now restored to us in Christ, and that nothing and no one can prevent this from happening. The means to accomplish this phenomenal act of grace is through the Blood Covenant.

A Covenant is “an indivisible, unlimited, contract, binding literally forever those covenanted.”

Covenant is the deepest relationship that any two human beings can enter into. It is stronger than any familial connection.

Why did God make a Covenant with mankind?

First we need to understand that God made Covenant within His own counsel, between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is referred to in Scripture as ‘the Everlasting Covenant’. As part of this Covenant, which pre-empts all others, and encompasses all others, the ‘Lamb of God’ was slain before the foundation of the world (Rev 13:8). In one sense, Jesus blood was shed for the remission of sins before even one atom of this created universe existed. Because Blood Covenant is so intimately tied with and represents ‘life’, it was this and this alone that could break the power of ‘death’ which was the awful result of man’s sin.

The Scriptures describe how blood is essential for the purifying and cleansing of sin.

“[In fact] under the Law almost everything is purified by means of blood, and without the shedding of blood there is neither release from sin and its guilt nor the remission of the due and merited punishment for sins.” (Hebrews 9:22 AMP)

The motivation and source of this great sacrifice was God’s great love for mankind. Love was the reason God made a Blood Covenant with mankind!

Covenants made with mankind in the Bible

Throughout history God has, through the means of Covenant, restored to beleiving mankind all that was lost through Adam’s sin.

We have been brought on a covenantal journey from beginning to an endless and blissful end.

May the Covenant making God be praised forever for His wisdom and grace!
