The word covenant appears in Matthew here:
Mat 26:28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
A covenant is an agreement/a promise/an undertaking. In the Old Testament times God made a covenant with the nation of Israel. He would be their God and they would be His people. But Israel failed to keep their part of the covenant, they were supposed to be a light to all the other nations to show God's ways.
So God has made a new covenant, it is sealed with the blood of Jesus, it is to all who believe that Jesus is the son of God and that he died as a sacrifice for sin.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
If you believe this then you will be saved from the judgment that all people will face - that is God's promise.
