Bible Question: Dear SLSAltsman, I asked a question a while back, "Covenant to Abraham revoked?" what do you think? Is Genesis 17:7, the 'everlasting covenant' to Abraham and his descendents nullified by the New Covenant? Did God renege the Old Covenant and revoke from Israel salvation from Hell? If He did take away this 'privilege' of salvation by faith (Abraham's descendents), when was it taken away? Please give specific Bible direction.

Bible Answer: Dear charis,
What "New Covenant" would or could nullify the everlasting covenant God made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
Hardly is the everlasting covenant God made with Abraham nullified by the covenant in Christ (or by anything else). Galatians 3:27,28 clearly states that those who are in Christ do indeed participate in the everlasting covenant with Abraham. This is the same covenant God promised to Adam and Eve when he said "in your seed" not "seeds" referring to Jesus Christ (Genesis 3:15). God has been consistent throughout the ages and remains consistent today.
The covenant that was changed was the Mosaic covanant. With Christ Jesus (from the tribe of Judah) as our High Priest, there was of necessity a change in the Law. The covenant with Abraham pre-dated the covenant established at Mt. Sinai. It remains intact. Hebrews 12:18-29.
Note: The covenant with Noah also will remain till the end of time.
God did not take away salvation by faith. Faith is the only way anyone has ever been or ever will be saved. "Abraham believed God and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." (Romans 4:1-15)
The first gospel message proclaimed salvation by faith (Acts 2:21,37,38)
God bless you with His abundant grace.
Sincerely yours by His grace and mercy,
SLSaltsman
