Covenant Series
In biblical theology, the term "Covenant Series" typically refers to the various covenants established between God and humanity throughout the scriptures. These covenants are foundational to understanding God's relationship with His people and His redemptive plan. Major covenants include the Noahic Covenant (Genesis 9:8-17), which promises never to flood the earth again; the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12:1-3; 15; 17), which establishes God's promise to make Abraham's descendants a great nation; the Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 19-24), which includes the giving of the Law to the Israelites; and the Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7), which promises that David's lineage will endure forever.The New Covenant, introduced in the New Testament (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Luke 22:20), is particularly significant as it fulfills and transcends the earlier covenants through the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This series of covenants illustrates God's consistent commitment to humanity, offering grace, guidance, and ultimately salvation. Each covenant builds upon the previous ones, culminating in the New Covenant, which invites all believers into a personal relationship with God through faith in Christ.
