Why Study Covenants?
We live in a world that shouts distorted messages and lies about identity, meanwhile, God lovingly reveals the truth behind identity in the gentle whispers of His Word. God placed at the very heart of covenant, an undeniable revelation of identity. He reveals Himself, and then He reveals you.
In covenant, God says:
You are Mine
You are chosen
You are forgiven
In covenant, God says:
You are Mine
