A covenant is a relationship between two or more parties that involves binding promises, stipulations, privileges, and responsibilities. In religious and biblical context, God has established covenants with his people, setting specific conditions and promising blessings for their obedience. These covenants form the unifying thread of God's saving action throughout Scripture and are fulfilled in the New Covenant of Christ's blood. Covenant is a dominant theme in the Bible and serves as the foundation for the story of God's people.
