Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a covenant and a promise in the Bible?+

A covenant is typically a formal, binding agreement between God and His people, often with specific conditions and signs (like God's covenant with Abraham or the Ten Commandments). A promise is a declaration of what God will do, which may or may not involve a covenant. All covenants involve promises, but not all promises are covenants.

How many major covenants are there in the Bible?+

There are typically five major covenants recognized in Scripture: the Noahic covenant (Genesis 9), the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 15, 17), the Mosaic covenant (Exodus 20), the Davidic covenant (2 Samuel 7), and the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31; fulfilled in Christ). Some theologians identify additional covenants or group them differently.

Did God's promises in the Old Testament apply only to the Jewish people?+

While many Old Testament promises were made specifically to Israel, the Bible reveals that God's ultimate plan extended beyond Israel. For example, God promised Abraham that through his descendants all nations would be blessed (Genesis 12:3), and the New Testament affirms that this blessing came through Jesus Christ to both Jews and Gentiles (Galatians 3:14).
