God's Covenant Partner


The book of Genesis shares an incredible story about a covenant agreement that God made with Abraham. You may read this true happening in Genesis chapter 15.

This covenant was so important, and so serious, that live animals were sacrificed. Their blood sealed the covenant.

A covenant is a very serious agreement or official contract. It may be interesting to look at a contract that your parent(s) have signed. Maybe they have one that they signed to buy a house, or a car, or something else.

The Bible tells us that this special covenant that God made with Abraham really came to pass when his descendant -- Jesus -- shed his blood as a sacrifice for our sins. You can read more about that special covenant this week by looking up these verses.

Hebrews 6:13-15
Hebrews 8:6-13
Hebrews 9:15
Hebrews 13:20
