God Promises to Keep His Covenant Forever

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a biblical covenant?

A covenant is a solemn, binding agreement between two parties, often sealed with blood. God's covenants — with Noah (rainbow), Abraham (descendants), Moses (law), David (throne), and believers (new covenant in Christ's blood) — are all unilateral: God binds Himself regardless of human failure.

Can God's covenant be broken?

Psalm 89:34 declares God will NOT break His covenant. Hebrews 6:18 says it's 'impossible for God to lie.' Human covenants fail; divine covenants cannot. Even when Israel broke their end, God remained faithful (2 Timothy 2:13). His covenant rests on His character, not ours.
