Sacred Covenants

Introduction  Sacred covenants must be respected; holy vows must be kept (Num. 30:1-2; Eccl. 5:4-7).  Even in ordinary conversations and commitments, our word should be our bond (James 5:12; 2 Cor. 1:15-24).  In this lesson, let us consider:  The covenant of marriage  The covenant of friendship  The covenant of the eyes  The covenant of the Lord

The Covenant of Marriage  God has instituted the covenant of marriage (Gen. 2:18- 24; Matt. 19:3-9).  Sadly, many violate their marital vows (Prov. 2:16-19; Mal. 2:13-16).

The Covenant of Friendship  The Bible extols the covenant of friendship (Prov. 27:10; cf. 17:17; 18:24), and provides compelling examples:  Ruth and Naomi (Ruth 1:16-17; 4:13-15)  David and Jonathan (1 Sam. 20:16-17, 30-34)  Jesus (John 15:12-17)  Unfortunately, many betray their close companions (Ps. 41:9; 55:12-21; 83:1-8; Matt. 26:20-25, 47-50; John 13:18).

The Covenant of the Eyes  The faithful make a covenant with their eyes, not to look upon evil things (Job 31:1-12; Ps. 119:37-38; Prov. 4:25-27; Isa. 33:13-16; 1 John 2:15-17).  Regrettably, many prove faithless in this regard (Prov. 27:20; Matt. 6:22-23), coveting women (Prov. 6:24-35; Matt. 5:27-30; 2 Pet. 2:14), wine (Prov. 20:1; 23:29- 35), etc.

The Covenant of the Lord  God has instituted various covenants with his people:  Noah (Gen. 6:8-9, 18, 22)  Abraham (Gen. 17:4-5, 9)  Israel (Exod. 19:1-6; 34:27-28)  Christians (Heb. 8:6-13; 12:22-24)  Alas, many reject these sacred covenants (2 Kings 17:15-18; Ps. 78:10, 37; Heb. 10:26-31).

Conclusion  God keeps his covenants with man (1 Kings 8:22-24; Ps. 25:10-11); will man keep his covenant with God (Deut. 7:9-11; Ps. 103:15-18)?  Will you keep the covenant of life (Mal. 2:5; Heb. 8:6), or foolishly attempt a covenant with death (Isaiah 28:14-22)?
