GOD’S COVENANTS AND THEIR PATTERN

COVENANT:
the
MOTHER of allbiblical patterns
WHY ALL THESE PATTERNS?? Slide3
Jer
31:31-34 (NLT
)
The
day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.32 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord.33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day,” says the Lord. “I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.Slide4

And they will not need to teach their
neighbors
, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the
Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already,” says the Lord. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.” Jer 31:31-34 (NLT)Slide5
GOD’S REDEMPTIVE PLAN :
As God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 2
Cor 6:16 (NLT)Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”

Romans 8:15-16 (NLT)WHY did God use this concept of covenants? Slide6
Contracts exchange property, money, services
Covenants exchange persons. When people enter into a covenant, they say: "I am yours and you are mine." You exchange your very being, you give your very self to another person

A PATTERN FOR
MARRIAGE
Galatians 5:26
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
Colossians 3:13
Bear
with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore
encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing
MARRIAGE
IS A COVENANTSlide9
Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.

“
Honor
your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise:3 If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.” 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord. Eph 6:1-4 (NLT)CHILDREN (GENERATIONAL)Slide10
So God has put the body together such that extra
honor
and care are given to those parts that have less dignity.
25 This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other.26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.27 All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. 1 Cor 12:22-27 (NLT)
