A covenant is a sacred, permanent bond of family relationship.
Covenants are different from contracts in that they involve personal responsibilities, are permanent, are an exchange of persons, and are based on God’s Word. Covenant is the central theme of Scripture.
Every covenant includes a mediator, a promise, a sign, and a progression.
The story of the Christian faith is a love story between God and His people.
God never ceases to love us, despite our persistent unfaithfulness.
God entered into a series of covenants with mankind to reveal Himself and make known His mercy and love.

Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8, 13
God said to Noah and to his sons with him: See, I am now establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you: the birds, the tame animals, and all the wild animals that were with you—all that came out of the ark. I will establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all creatures be destroyed by the waters of a flood; there shall not be another flood to devastate the earth.
