The definition we are using for covenant is an agreement, a contract, or a promise. Let's review just what these words mean. Promise tells us what God is going to do. Condition is obedience to the rules outlined by God in the promise. Penalty means that if you break the rules, you will face punishment.
Provision means that a way of escape from the penalty has been offered.
So far, we have talked about God's covenant with Adam and Jesus' fulfillment of God's promise to man. Our next covenant is called an everlasting covenant. This covenant is one that God made with Noah and his family, but the promise extends to us and our families. It will continue to go on to people who aren't even born yet. Let's look at the parts of the covenant in Noah's story.
