Covenant and Kingdom are the two central concepts of the Old and New Testaments. In covenant two become one. As we enter into covenant with God we enter into our God-intended life: all I am belongs to God and all that is His belongs to me. The Kingdom is simply the expression of the rule of the king, Jesus, in our lives and the lives of those around us.
Covenant is the way in which the Bible describes and defines relationship: first our relationship with God and then our relationship with everyone else.
