UNDERSTANDING GOD’S COVENANTS

Understanding God’s Covenants explores the single, sweeping story God has been writing since the beginning of time—a story shaped, structured, and sustained by His covenants. From Eden to the New Jerusalem, Scripture unfolds not as a collection of disconnected stories but as one unified revelation of a God who binds Himself to His people through promises He alone can keep.

The book begins where Scripture begins—in a world of order, where God’s presence rested upon holiness and man was created to live under His word. Even before the term “covenant” appeared, the structure of covenant was present: God commands, man responds, blessing and consequence follow. When sin shattered Eden, the covenant pattern did not disappear; instead, it became the means through which God would restore what was lost.

Readers move through the major covenants of the Old Testament—Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic—each presented in short, powerful bursts that highlight the structure, purpose, and theological weight of these divine promises. These covenants reveal God’s mercy toward a sinful world, His sovereign choice of a people, His holy law, and His commitment to provide a righteous King. Through every covenant, God moves closer to the ultimate fulfillment of His redemptive plan.

At the center of the book stands the New Covenant—the covenant Jesus sealed with His own blood. Here, the storyline of Scripture converges. The second Adam triumphs where the first fell. The true Seed of Abraham brings blessing to the nations. The obedient Israelite fulfills the law. The Son of David takes the eternal throne. The Mediator intercedes forever. In Christ, every covenant promise finds its “Yes and Amen.”

The book closes by exploring what it means to live as covenant people today: belonging to Christ, walking in obedience, worshiping with our lives, and taking the Lord’s Supper as covenant renewal. The final chapter leads readers into Revelation’s garden-city, where every covenant is fulfilled, the Tree of Life returns, the curse is lifted, and God once again dwells with His people face to face.

An additional addendum examines two often-misunderstood unilateral covenants—God’s promise never again to flood the earth and His unbreakable covenant with Israel—showing how both testify to His power, His sovereignty, and His redemptive plan for the world.

Understanding God’s Covenants invites believers to see the Bible not as fragments but as a single, breathtaking story of a God who keeps His promises—perfectly, eternally, and at the cost of His own blood.
