God's first covenant was with Moses (Genesis 15) and included promises of God's protection of His people and the grace He would give them. The main thrust of this Covenant included circumcision and animal sacrifice. This Covenant was renewed by God with Moses. It enforced the Covenant with Abraham and provided the Jewish people with law and the way to live a good life through the provision of The Ten Commandments. (Exodus 20). God's Covenant was again renewed with King David by establishing an eternal line of royal kings (Samuel 2 7:11-16). God's purpose in establishing Covenants with the Jewish people was to set them apart from the Gentiles (non-Jews) who believed in many gods. With the coming of Jesus the Messiah, a new and to many people, controversial covenant was made which included the sacrifice of human blood, Jesus' blood, to take away the sins of the world. Jesus instituted His new Covenant which meant sacrificing Himself. This He told to His apostles during the Last Supper (refer Luke 22:20-23). All these covenants had the same aim ie. to set the Jewish people apart from other polytheistic peoples and draw them ever closer to Himself. The apostle, Peter spoke of this also, saying that Christians were a "priestly people. God's chosen people." (Epistle of Peter1 1-10).
