Israel Present The Unconditional Covenants Although a covenant is made, signed, and sealed at a certain point of history, this does not mean that all the promises or provisions go immediately into effect. Abrahamic CovenantSeed,Land,Blessings Davidic CovenantSeed Palestinian CovenantLand New CovenantBlessings

The Church’s Relationship to the Unconditional Covenants Physical promises limited to Israel, the church partakes of the Spiritual.

The Law of Moses has been Rendered Inoperative Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end (Telos) of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Telos the conclusion of an act or state of termination Gal 3:19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

The Law of Christ is our law of life today Gal 6:1-2 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Rom 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
