The Covenant Keeping God

“Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God,
. . . keep His commandments.”
Deuteronomy 7:9
Today's Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 1:18-20.
One of the great themes of Scripture is that God always keeps His promises. Throughout the Bible, we see the faithfulness of our covenant-keeping God.
After the flood, God made a covenant with Noah and placed the rainbow in the sky as a reminder that He would never again destroy the earth by water. With Abraham, God promised a seed through whom all nations would be blessed. Though centuries passed, that promise was fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:16).
God also made a covenant with David, promising an everlasting kingdom. At times it seemed impossible that this promise could stand, yet God faithfully preserved David’s line until Jesus, the Son of David, came into the world as the eternal King.
Through the prophet Jeremiah, God promised a New Covenant that would bring forgiveness of sins and a new heart. That covenant was established through the blood of Christ. At the Last Supper, Jesus declared, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood” (Luke 22:20).
Every covenant in Scripture points us to Christ. The rainbow, the promised Seed, the eternal King, and the New Covenant all find their fulfilment in Him. When we remember the Lord at His Table, we rejoice that our salvation rests not on our faithfulness, but on the faithfulness of our covenant-keeping God, “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)
Prayer: Faithful God, thank You for keeping every promise through Christ our Lord. Amen
