Covenant - How Important Is It?
|
|
Andrew Murray, a mighty man of God of the late nineteenth century, said, "One of the words of scripture which has become almost obsolete is the word "covenant." There was a time when it was the keynote of theology and the basis for the Christian life of strong, holy men. We know how deep in Scotland it entered into the national life and thought. It made mighty men, to whom God, and His promise and power were wonderfully real. It will be found still to bring strength and purpose to those who will take the trouble to bring all their life under the control of the inspiring assurance that they are living in covenant with a God Who has sworn faithfully to fulfil in them every promise He has given.
If you would take the Covenant and speak of it as God could enable you to speak, I think that would be the quickest way the Lord could take to make His Church wake up to the power He has put into our hands in giving us a Covenant. I would be so glad if you would tell God’s people that they have a Covenant.
I am persuaded that nothing will help us more in our work of intercession, than the entrance for ourselves personally into what it means that we have a Covenant God.
As long as we expect God to do for us what we ask or think, we limit Him. When we believe that as high as the heavens are above the earth, His thoughts are above our thoughts, and wait on Him as God to do unto us according to His Word, as He means it, we shall be prepared to live the truly supernatural, heavenly life the Holy Spirit can work in us—the true Christ life.
May God lead every reader into the secret of His presence, and 'show him His Covenant.'

The Covenant of God is the Oath of God -
"To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham" - Luke 1 : 72-73
"I have made a covenant with my chosen,
I have sworn unto David my servant" - Psalm 89 : 3
See also God's Covenant with Day & Night - Jeremiah 33 : 20-21
"Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day,
and my covenant of the night, and that there should
not be day and night in their season,
Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant"
When God swears to an individual as He did to Abraham, David and to His Son, Jesus, He binds His soul to that person forever - thus creating an unbreakable union. He cannot break His word to that individual and all that proceeds from His mouth must come to pass to that person. This is covenant law.
"If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth." - Numbers 30 : 2This explains the perfect union and relationship
Jesus had with His Father.
Satan tried to break this union by the
temptations in the wilderness, but failed.
There are only two covenants in Scripture, described by the apostle Paul in Galatians 3 : 16-18 & 4 : 22-26: The covenant of law given by Moses to the nation of Israel on Mount Sinai, and the covenant of grace given to Abraham and his seed 430 years earlier. The latter is not disannulled by the former.
"The covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul" - Galatians 3 : 17
"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed,
and heirs according to the promise." - Galatians 3 : 29
