7 - What Is Covenant

In this episode, we talk about how God structures His relationship to us. Generally, there are five aspects of how God relates to us: He establishes His lordship over us, appoints a way of communication and representation between us and Him, gives promises and guidance as to what we are to do and how, ordains an external sign of the covenant to seal the deal, and provides a way for this arrangement to continue into the future. All of these aspects serve to bind us, legally and personally, to Yahweh in Jesus Christ.
