The Covenantal Ending of Revelation in the Bible
Keywords
covenant path, Abrahamic promises, covenant faithfulness
Abstract
The scriptures are God’s instructional manual for the covenant path.
God covenanted with father Abraham to give him and his descendants property, posterity, and prosperity (Genesis 12:1-3). Those promises are secured by God’s commitment and loyalty. God has been loyal to that covenant, as evident by the stories throughout the scriptures where God has provided those blessings to His people.
God asks our loyalty and commitment from us in return. The Law of Moses, including the Ten Commandments delivered at Mount Sinai (see especially Exodus 20), provide us instruction for how to show our loyalty and love to God. Our faithfulness and loyalty to God preserves our access to the Abrahamic promises God so freely offers us.
