God's Everlasting Covenant With Us

“If my house were not right with God,
surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,
arranged and secured in every part;
surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation
and grant me my every desire.
- 2 Samuel 23:5 -

The covenant is divine in its origin.

God has made a covenant with us.

Here lies the sweetness of it to each believer.

God has made peace with us!

The covenant is everlasting in its duration.

The covenant had no beginning, and it shall never end.

How sweet amidst all the uncertainties of life.

Let us sing of this, even though our church is not so with God as our hearts desire.

Breaking The Covenant

Deuteronomy 28:15-68

God pronounced blessing upon blessing, if the people of Israel would remain faithful to Him.

His promises were extravagant, a reflection of His pleasure in doing good on behalf of those who love Him.

But the 14 verses describing blessings in the first part of chapter 28 are followed by 54 verses describing the most heart-rending curses imaginable.

God goes to extra lengths to warn the Israelites of the dangers of breaking the covenant.

The ravages of sin are severe!

This section of Deuteronomy sets up the next few hundred years of Israel’s history and gives the background for why the people will eventually be led into exile.

The House of Israel had broken God's Covenant!
