Faithful Writers

Discover the power of prayer as a covenant. One forgotten request became a wake-up call, reshaping my faith, relationships, and the way I honor our promise to God and others.

Christians often confuse covenants with wills or testaments, but that’s not Biblical truth. God’s covenants are eternal laws woven into the very fabric of creation.

Connected to this point is the huge misunderstanding that God made a separate covenant for the salvation of the Gentiles. I’m sorry to say this, but NO SUCH covenant exists

Before Abraham, civilizations believed man could not escape his fate. God’s calling to Abraham broke this endless cycle, introducing hope and a future with purpose. His journey reshaped how humanity sees time, destiny, and personal vocation.

In Genesis 13, God makes an unconditional covenant with Abram, promising the land to his descendants forever. This “forever” covenant reveals God’s unchanging faithfulness and His ongoing plan for Israel.

The underlying theme of Genesis is about the overcoming of all odds to achieve ultimate victory through faith in God. Think about it. God chooses one childless and elderly couple way beyond their ability to bear children. And God says to the husband Abraham that not only is he going to have a child but He is going to make him into a great nation, bless him abundantly and grant his descendants the Land of Canaan.

We can see throughout the book of Genesis that God’s interventions are at their most intense during the early stages of mankind’s history and gradually take a backseat as His creation matures.
