A Covenant is a contract or an agreement. They are similar to contracts that people use when entering into business relationships. Every contract, agreement, or covenant involves at least two parties. All of the parties involved normally sign a contract signifying that they will keep their side of the agreement. As for as God is concerned, Jesus has paid the price for salvation for every Man. 1 John 2:2<\/em> \u201cAnd he (Jesus) is the propitiation (or atonement) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.\u201d<\/strong> Now it is up to each man to do his part.<\/p>\n I was praying for a man who came to the altar and wanted to be saved. The man was kneeling and praying \u201cGod, Please save me. God, please save me. God, please save me. After several minutes, I stopped the man and told him that he did not have to beg God. God has already said yes to all of his promises. James 1:17, <\/em>\u00a0“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” …<\/strong><\/p>\n God has done his part now it is up to you to do your part. Romans 10:13<\/em> For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:9-10<\/em> That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.<\/strong><\/p>\n The man did his part and the Joy of the Lord filled his heart.<\/p>\n Confession: I believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is my lord.

\nWhen discussing our Biblical covenant, the two parties are God and I. God has already completed his part through Jesus and the cross. Now it is up to man to complete his part he will then have the promises made in the covenant. Hebrews 8:6<\/em> \u201c. . . Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.\u201d <\/strong> God will always fulfill His side of the covenant. If we do not receive the promises, the problem is never on God\u2019s side! 2 Corinthians 1:20<\/em> \u201cFor all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen (Amen means, so be it),\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
