The Five Covenants

A covenant is a promise or commitment made between two or more willing parties. A biblical covenant is slightly different and is more specifically made between God and his people. Covenants in the bible have been described as a way for God to communicate with people and grant them the things they want most. Such as eternal life and forgiveness of sins.

Evidently, God was referring to Jesus the final saviour who would come down from Heaven and redeem all
