God di this first with the Jewish people in the times and stories related in the Old testiment of The Bible.
God did this for the last time about 2000 years ago as related in New Testiment of the Bible when he sent his sone to live and die a human life and with the resurection of Jesus.
It tells us that God is loyal to His covenant with Abraham.
God made a covenant with Noah by promising not to flood the world again
Jesus
God created this covenant between him and Adam and eve to show us that Jesus would come to save us from our sins and also to see if Adam and Eve would trust him.
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.
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.
The covenant was with God.
An agreement with God is usually called a covenant.
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.
The Hebrew laws are contained in the Torah. God gave us the Torah (Exodus 24:12) as a manifestation of His covenant with us (Exodus ch.19), to make us a holy people.
The old covenant was to show us our sins. The Bible says in Romans 7:7, "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet." God knew in His wisdom that we needed to fully understand our inability to reach God by our own efforts. So He sent us the old covenant to show us that. No man is able to keep the old covenant perfectly, except Jesus. Galatians 5:24-25 says,"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."God, in His wisdom, knew we would never see that we cannot save ourselves, unless we saw just how sinful we really are. No man is able to obey perfectly every law of the old covenant. But we needed to learn that, so we would see our need for Jesus. Many things in the old covenant are a "type," or a picture, of things in the new covenant. In the old covenant they had to sacrifice an unblemished lamb for their sins. Jesus came as the Lamb of God, to take away our sins.
He made a covenant with god.
