Ep.81 - Covenant: God’s Relationship to Us - Pt.5: The Promise: Covenant of Promise (Abrahamic)
Description
Who was Abraham? Why did God single him out? What did the covenant mean to him? To his family? To the newly formed Israel? To the world? What significance did God’s covenant with Abraham bear on the overall biblical picture and on Jesus especially? What relevance was the particular promise of land and how ought we to understand that today?
In this week’s episode, the Curious team reflect on Genesis 12 and God’s groundbreaking words to Abraham. How they not only signified a new covenantal development within the overarching covenant theme of scripture but revealed a central truth of the character and ultimate purpose of God for humankind and his church in particular.
