Bible Note: Johnny You need to understand that there are 2 types of promises God covenants with His people of promise. 1) Unconditional promises of God - These unconditional promises of God will be fulfilled, independent of any actions of man. In the Bible a unconditional promise of God is where God says "I will" As an example of one of these unconditional convenants I provide the following verse: Gen. 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I WILL not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth; NEITHER WILL I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. This covenenat has no conditions man must fulfill. What God promised here will be fulfilled inspite of any actions of man. Then there are - 2) The conditional covenants of God - In a conditonal covenant, you will see the word "IF" attached. God sets forth promises which will come about IF the people fulfill the requirements set forth by God. The following is an example of a conditional promise. 2 Chr. 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. If the people fulfill the requirements set forth by God in the first half of this verse, Then the blessings of forgiveness, and healing of their land will be the result of the obedience to the standards set forth by God. God is a covenant keeping God. But the people of God are covenant breaking people. People rather than God are to be blamed when conditional covenants do not find fulfillment God bless New Creature |
