1 | What Parts Makes Covenant Work? | Heb 9:16 | bowler | 206751 | ||
What constitutes the elements of a covenant? Not just who is in it, and not who made covenants in the first place, but what are the differing parts of how a covenant works as God has laid it out from the OT to the NT to now? blessings abound, bowler |

2 | What Parts Makes Covenant Work? | Heb 9:16 | srbaegon | 206772 | ||
Hello bowler, That depends on the covenant. It also depends on your definition of a covenant. From the Webster 1828 dictionary: COVENANT, n. [L, to come; a coming together; a meeting or agreement of minds.] 1. A mutual consent or agreement of two or more persons, to do or to forbear some act or thing; a contract; stipulation. A covenant is created by deed in writing, sealed and executed; or it may be implied in the contract. 2. A writing containing the terms of agreement or contract between parties; or the clause of agreement in a deed containing the covenant. 3. In theology, the covenant of works, is that implied in the commands, prohibitions, and promises of God; the promise of God to man, that mans perfect obedience should entitle him to happiness. This do, and live; that do, and die. The covenant of redemption, is the mutual agreement between the Father and Son, respecting the redemption of sinners by Christ. The covenant of grace, is that by which God engages to bestow salvation on man, upon the condition that man shall believe in Christ and yield obedience to the terms of the gospel. 4. In church affairs, a solemn agreement between the members of a church, that they will walk together according to the precepts of the gospel, in brotherly affection. Steve |

Steve Thank you. I would wonder if a Biblical source might contain Biblical explanation of Biblical concepts. Webster's? I am not out to disparage your efforts to find a source, I myself before and asking the question found absolutely, not one source for what constitutes the parts of what makes up a covenant. I had two posts looking at this concept of what elements, or rules comprise a covenant, this general one and the specific one about marriage. Those are some interesting elements you found though, food for thought - Mutual consent A written agreement as a contract God's commands, prohibitions, promises, obedience As you have outlined it would be that mutual consent is required as a written agreement of contract to obtain the promises of God or between church parties with the vairous prohibitions and obedience to the covenant. Thank you. blessings abound, bowler |
