The God of Covenants 2: Covenant Love

Speaker: Pastor Virgil Stokes

Series: Fresh Fire or Strange Fire

TEXT: Psalms 25:14 NLT The LORD is a friend to those who fear Him. He teaches them His covenant.

Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

God is a God of covenants. Without an understanding of covenant, it is impossible to fully grasp the biblical message: where we are in history, His example of truthfulness for us, confidence in the promise. The concept of covenant is key to understanding what God means when He talks about love. It is a very different thing than natural, human love. It has nothing to do with feelings. It is the outcome of covenant.
