Why did God give us a covenant?

He specifically did not give us a covenant. in The Bible they may talk about covenants in which they believe you should not do, but not to get in a fight but how much of the bible is written by god himself? in the bible they give you a covenant because they believe that you should not be able to do anything you want any time you want. there needs to be some civil people. if people just went around doing what ever they wanted the whole world would be in chaos, with these covenants it is to keep them inline and to keep somewhat of a guideline.

God did make a covenant with Jacob(Israel), his twin brother. Which are the sons of Issac, the seed of Abraham.

How many times does God say He will be with us or is with us?

There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. The word Testament means covenant or promise. The Bible constantly tells us in one form or another that God is with us. A covenant (promise). The New Testament is not of sacrifice but of Love. When Jesus died on the cross the new covenant began. We still must obey all of the commandments in the Old Testament but the new covenant began. All through the new Testament it tells of how God is with us. He knows we are not perfect and He does not expect us to be. But if we ask for forgiveness, at anytime, God will forgive us. He is always everywhere and always with us. If we ask for forgiveness and really mean it, God must and will forgive us. Instantly and forever. Never to remember those shortcomings again. We can do this because God is with us always. He promises.
