bused on the fulfillment of certain
conditions by man. We might say
there are two covenants. One of
works undone of grace. In the works
covenant, God promises man to save
and bless him upon the condition of
complete obedience. In the grace
covenant God promises to save man
on the condition of his believing on
Jesus Christ and accepting him as
their Saviour. When man fulfills the
condition of one of these covenants
he lias fulfilled both o.f them. B'or
wc cannot obey God without believ
ing on Jesus Christ. Neither can we
believe on Jesus Christ without obey
ing God.
There are a number of covenants
in the Bible. In Genesis 1:26-28 we
find these words, “and God said let
us make ma in our own image, the
living creatures after his kind, cattle
and creeping things and beasts of
tlie earth after his kind, and it was
so. And Godmade the beasts of earth
after his kind, and cattle after their
kind, and everything that creepeth
upon the earth after his kind. And
God saw that it was good. And God
said let us make man in our image
and likeness. And let them have do
minion over the fish of the sea and
o\er the fowls of the air and over
the cattle and over all the earth and
over every creeping thing on the
earth.”
This was the first covenant ever
made on earth and could be called
the Covenant of Eden, in which man
was established on earth in complete
innocence. But alas, after establish
ing this covenant, mna did not re
main innocent but sinned. Next we
see Cod making a new- covenant by
which man was to have a redeemer.
He Yvas given a promise of a redeem
er. “And the Lord said unto the sell-
pent because thou has done this thou
art cursed above all cattle, and
above every beast of the field. Upon
thy belly sh< thou go, and dust
shalt thou eat all the days of thy
life.” This is a picture of the fallen
state man has fallen into, and the
promise of a redeemer in the future.
From these words we find that
God made a covenant with Noah,
“And 1 will establish my covenant
with you; neither shall all flesh be
cut out any more by the waters of a
flood to destroy the earth.” Man had
fallen to such a low state that God
destroyed the human race. This de
struction left one family, that of
Noah. God, after destroying them by
a flood covenanted with the head of
Noah's family that he would never
again destroy the world by a flood.
In this covenant is to be found the
element of human government. “The
Lord made a covenant with Abram
saying unto thy seed have 1 given
the land from the river of Egypt
unto the great river the Euphrates.
This was the establihsment of Is
rael Abram's name was changed to
Abraham. Before the establishing of
the Jewish nation his name was
Abram. He became head of the Jew
ish race. Though he was not a Jew,

He was a Chaldean. While his
name was Abram we see the new
coY’enant had not been established.
Next we hear these words “gb
ciown and charge the people lest they
treak through unto the Lord to gaze
and muny of them perish and let the
priests also which come near to the
Lord sanctify themselves lest the
Lord break forth upon, them.” Now
we have the reply of Moses to these
words Yvith thi s statement ,‘the peo
ple cannot come up unto Mount
Sinia for thou ohargedest us saying
set bounds about the mountain and
sanctify it.” Moses went doYvn and
spake unto the people. By this ad
dress lie made known to the people
God's wishes. And the covenant
that he made Yvith God in their be
half. We further learn ni Deuterono
my that God made an agreement or
covenant to restore Israel. “That
then the Lord thy God will turn thy
captivity and haY’e compassion upon
thee and will return and gather thee
from all .nations whither the Lord
thy God hath scattered thee.” What
a promise this Yvas, for a people who
were in slavery. It proves to us be-
bond all doubt that God is a forgiv
ing spirit and that he can forgive
our sins and restore us to his faY’or
regardless of our past sins.
The covenant that God has made
with his people from time to time is
proof of the covenant concerning
Christ.
God's Covenants Personal
Jeremiah's teaching was a result
of his expeirence. He really knew
God. During his spiritual efforts he
laid bare his heart to God. His new
covenant came from a national ex
perience. The original covenant had
failed. A new covenant had been
made under Josiah and it had failed.
Reforms from Yvithout did not ac
complish anything. A reform to be
worth anything, had to come from
within. In the new covenant personal
Yvas not mixed as we w-ould say to
day, with affairs of state.
A Revelation
In this new revelation of God is
God hidden from us? We need not
think of him as concealed from us
tho Yve have broken his coY'enant he
still is about us. Often Yve are down
east Yvith sadness and sorrow; he is
near us and will make his purposes
known to us if Yve will but call upon
him. God's greatest revelation is the
revelation of himself. We need only
to look about us to see evidences^ of
God's handiYY’ork. The groYving plants
the floYving streams, the bright sun
light that expells darkness. There is
in nature a code of laws. So complex
are these rules that they govern all
things, e\-en human life itself. Even
the plants and babbling streams are
under the direct influence of God's
laws. These laws must be obeyed or
a penalty will be exacted for viola
tion of same. We may violate civil
laYY’s and get by without paying the
penalty, but we cannot break the
least of the divine law without pay
ing he penalty. If we violate the
laws of health we will pay for it in
tears, suffering, and misery. There is
still another penalty that will be ex
acted of us that we are indirectly
responsible for; that is sins that we
commit and in paying the penalty for
same transwit that penalty to. When
we do this we are doubly guilty. Not
only do Yve injure ourselves but pos
terity as well.
