In Christianity, there are several covenants that God made with humanity throughout the Bible. Some of the most notable covenants include the covenant with Noah (Genesis 9), the covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12), the covenant with Moses (Exodus 19), and the new covenant through Jesus Christ (Luke 22). Each covenant established a particular relationship between God and his people.
In the Bible, God made a covenant with Adam called the Covenant of Works. This covenant required Adam to obey God's command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden.
Jesus' death opened a new covenant with God.
God made many covenants in the Old Testament, but I assume you are speaking about the "New Covenant" vs the "Old Covenant" which God gave Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai. The "New Covenant" or second was mentioned in the Old Testament several times as a covenant which was yet future. The "New Covenant" started in the New Testament when Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary, was buried, and was resurrected the third day. The 'Old Covenant" was by Law and the "New Covenant" was by grace.
In the Old Testament God's covenant with the nation of Israel was a conditional covenant. If Israel obeyed God the God would bless them. The new covenant is not conditional in that respect. The New Covenant (or New Testament) is the promise that God makes with humanity that He will forgive sin and restore fellowship with those whose hearts are turned toward Him. Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant, and His death on the cross is the basis of the promise. The Bible doesn't say that God will send anything except the Holy Spirit to those who believe. Under the new covenant life is not about obeying God's commandments but being led by God's Spirit. However God's Spirit will led a person to obey God's commandments. If Christians obey God they will show all people that they are Jesus disciples.

the resurrection of christAdditional Comments:The New Covenant provides a better relationship with God than that portrayed in the Old Covenant. This is available only through Christ - our new High Priest and eternal sacrifice for the sins of man - for all who truly repent to receive God's Holy Spirit - being accepted by God as His new sons and daughters.Note: None of the spiritual principles that reflect the mind and character of God revealed in the Old Covenant have been abandoned by the new.
Covenants are contracts between God and mankind. They are consistent and ever-enlarging beginning from the Noahic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant (aka Sinai Covenant), the Davidic Coventant, and the capstone or culminating New Covenant. Though men break covenants, God keeps His promises.
No I don't think so. God's covenant was with the nation of Israel. Amos' message to the kingdoms of Israel and Judah was they were not keeping their part of God's covenant with them.
