Covenant: The Story of the Bible #3 - The Covenant of Grace

Long years without a son leave Abraham afraid that God’s promise may never arrive. God promises countless descendants, and Abraham believes Him; God counts that faith as righteousness. Then God alone passes between the divided animals, taking responsibility for keeping the covenant even when His people fail. Jesus fulfils that oath by bearing the covenant curse, so salvation rests on God’s faithful grip rather than ours. Faith receives His promise with empty hands and responds with grateful faithfulness.
