The Covenants of Scripture
Five covenants form the spine of the Bible's story — each one a binding promise God makes, building on the last. Read in order, they trace the whole arc from Noah to the New Testament.
5 passages
Noahic Covenant
The rainbow, given as the sign of a promise never to destroy the earth by flood again.
Mosaic Covenant
Given at Sinai — conditional on obedience, unlike the unconditional promise to Abraham.
Davidic Covenant
A promise of a throne "established for ever" — the root of later Messianic hope.
New Covenant
A law written on the heart rather than on stone — quoted directly in Hebrews as fulfilled in Christ.
