THEOLOGY XV. Covenants A Biblical Covenant is
a contract between God and man, in which God sets the terms. Such a covenant is a promise by God. Of the
eight covenants in Scripture, six are unconditional promises—God will do something regardless of what man does. Two are conditional (Edenic
Covenant and Mosaic Covenant)—God will do something based on man’s response. It is important to know the Covenants in order to understand the overall plan of God as revealed through Scripture. The Covenants are all part of God’s
redemptive plan for the world, so they are fulfilled in Christ.
Following are the Covenants, together with an explanation of how Christ implements these promises.
