V j f Today the ' aim ; or our lesson is to help ' Christians discover the place of , the covenant in Abraham's relationship with God, and understand its signifi cance, not only in the life of the Hebrew people, but also In the faith of the Christian church. ' . Abraham's faith, which we studied last week, was initiated by God and nurtured by the assurance that God had a spe cial purpose in calling him to Canaan. A belief in this special purpose was central in the He brew nation from very early times. The Genesis writers used the word "covenant" to describe God's relationship with them. A covenant is an agreement or - a contract between two people; Its terms are the conditions un der which certain benefits are to be extended. Once a covenant has been established it becomes binding and obligatory art both parties. : So long , as the ) pre scribed obligations are met. then values promised' must be freely given. We should remember that this "contracf between God and Ab lnhnm uraa unliir ( J are established todav. It was not the product of negotiation The terms : were imposed by Ood, a fact clearly recognized in the Old Testament, ' Abraham had no opportunity to bargain for particular conditions. . He was free to accept or reject, and he freely gave himself to the di vine offer. . , - Abraham had certain commit ments to keep as a part of the covenant He had to be.obedi' ent to the divine command, and this obedience brought him into Canaan, where his response . was to. worship,, Thus, . the life an ticipated by the covenant was a righteous life, a life in which the, divine expectations were the essence of Abraham's desires. Nothing less than ; full i obedi ence to God's leading would be sutncient. , . AvhlDnikfiim'i ihf 1 1 1 dl '' rnoaninff oPerhaps the most - Important I meaning is that our human' his tory has not Just ."happened", that it is not the result of blind chance or human - decision alone. God is active jn "history. . , His mighty acts within ' the events of the past have Helped shape what has occurred. . He lives, he acts, and he has chosen to act through certain persons and nations who listen to his voice and heed his call. The whole Bible, "indeed," is v ordinarily in terpreted in Jhe light of .this idea, h , wrf... av',' Jesus' coming was the , ful fillment of a prophecy He came i7 . ,nr.iink ' n.A t through, the i means of a new covenant. , .The book , of this covenant we call the New-Testa 1lment.'
