7 Covenants - #2 Noahic
This is the second of seven very important covenants in the Bible. Most Christians can only name a couple (before doing my research I have to admit that I could only think of 4), and many other people only focus on one covenant from the Old Testament as being the "ultimate" covenant.
We will be studying each covenant in detail.
The second covenant is the Noahic.
Just to be very clear, we will again begin by defining the word:
Covenant - a solemn, binding agreement established by God with individuals or groups. It involves promises, blessings and stipulations that underscore the relationship between God and His people.
And then let's define two words from the definition of covenant above: solemn & binding.
Solemn- very serious; done with the utmost sincerity
Binding- imposing and obligation
Just like the first covenant, this covenant is pretty obvious from the title (NOAHic) that we are talking about Noah and the flood.
This covenant is a promise that the earth will never be destroyed by a flood again - Read Bible passage below:
Let's backup a bit and reread the account of Noah in the Bible
- first about building the Ark (Click HERE to view "TREES#16(a) - Noah Building the Ark")
- then about the actual flood (Click HERE to view "TREES#16(b) - Noah & the Flood")
With this covenant, God gave us the most beautiful gift that can still be seen today - the rainbow.
Also, God made this covenant between Himself, Noah, all living creatures AND with all "perpetual" generations" - that's all of us today!
(The color order of the rainbow can be seen in this post - click HERE )
Learning about God's covenants can prove that His Word lasts forever and it also proves that we can trust Him ALWAYS.
