A study from Vince Baker Ministries
What does it mean to be in covenant with God?
Abraham’s story gives the promises a history. Jeremiah speaks to a people who had broken covenant and promises forgiveness and God’s law written on the heart. Hebrews connects that promise to Jesus as mediator. Follow the setting and recipient of each passage before drawing an application for your own life.
From Abraham’s Promise to the Cross
Baker’s sayings often connect covenant language across books of the Bible. Paul explicitly connects Abraham’s promise with Christ and discusses the place of the law. Read the surrounding paragraph so the relationship among Abraham, Christ, and those who believe stays clear.
Put one quote into practice
Choose one passage and write down who makes the promise, whom it addresses, and what response the text calls for. Give thanks for one feature of God’s character you see there. Carry that gratitude into one commitment you need to keep this week.
