Covenant

A sacred contract made between two partners, which creates a permanent relationship between them. In the Bible, God made a series of covenants with people, each with specific terms. This includes one with Noah after the flood, another with Abraham, two through Moses with Israel (one at Sinai and another at Moab), one with King David and a final ‘new covenant' through Jesus. Some Christians believe that the new covenant introduced by Jesus completely replaced the previous covenants made through Moses. Others believe that the previous covenant remains, just that Jesus changed the terms. Some scholars argue that the new covenant introduced by Jesus was also a testament (as in ‘last will and testament'), because the Greek word translated ‘covenant' (diatheke) usually referred to a testament rather than a covenant.
