Covenant and Consummation

This message examines the role of covenant - and particularly the new covenant - in the consummation of God's purposes for His creation. Different theological traditions and perspectives view the matter of consummation differently, but the eternal destiny of individual human beings is the focus of many Christians' understanding when it comes to the final consummation. But the Scriptures, and the scriptural covenants themselves, have a different focus and ultimate concern - one that is corporate and cosmic rather than individual and human.
