As Abraham walked with God he proved himself trustworthy, so much that the Lord entered into a Covenant relationship with him and his descendants. Genesis 15:18 “In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram...” A Covenant is AN AGREEMENT between two parties that is binding upon each to fulfill to the greatest of their ability the conditions of the covenant. A Covenant is a two way street. God has HIS Part. “I’m going to bless you . . .” But Abraham also had a Part - “his part was TRUST and OBEDIENCE!” With the blood Covenant there was symbols that were tokens of a reminder of the Covenant. In Abraham’s day it was the token of circumcision the shedding of blood that would remind his descendants of the Covenant. We too, have a tokens of the New Covenant established in the body and blood of Jesus Christ. It is important that we REMIND ourselves regularly that we are in COVENANT with FATHER GOD. We do that today by the SYMBOLS of Covenant!
