The Character of God — God as Covenant-Keeper – The God Who Makes Covenant

Awakened to Deliver — Living in the Revelation of His NameWeek 26 — God as Covenant-Keeper Day 1 – The God Who Makes CovenantKey Verse: Genesis 17:7 (WEBUS)“I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.”⸻Episode Highlights• A covenant in Scripture is more than a contract. It reveals God’s heart to bind Himself to His promises.• God is the One who initiates covenant. He moves toward His people first.• In Genesis 15, God alone passes between the covenant pieces, showing that His faithfulness secures the promise.• Abram was counted righteous by faith before circumcision and before the law.• In Genesis 17, God repeatedly says, “I will,” showing that covenant begins with His grace and power.• God’s covenant promises shape identity, which is seen when Abram becomes Abraham.• Throughout Scripture, God is the One who seeks, calls, remembers, and rescues His people.• Salvation reflects this same truth: God moved toward us in Christ while we were still sinners.• Obedience does not earn covenant relationship. It is the fruit of faith in the God who first pursued us.⸻Scriptures to Reflect On• Genesis 15:1–6 – God promises Abram descendants, and Abram believes by faith.• Genesis 15:17–18 – God alone passes between the covenant pieces.• Genesis 17:1–7 – God establishes His covenant with Abraham as an everlasting covenant.• Genesis 3:9 – God seeks Adam after the fall.• Exodus 2:24 – God remembers His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.• Romans 5:8 – God demonstrates His love while we were still sinners.• Ephesians 2:8–9 – Salvation is by grace through faith, not by works.⸻Takeaway ThoughtThe story of covenant begins with God’s initiative, not ours.We do not persuade God to care for us. He is the One who speaks, promises, pursues, and provides.The God who makes covenant is the God who moves toward sinners with grace and invites them into relationship through Jesus Christ.⸻Stay ConnectedGrab a free digital copy of 30 Days of Patience and explore more resources in the Linktree found in the show notes.All socials: @AwakenedBibleMinistrieshttps://linktr.ee/AwakenedBibleMinistries⸻Support This MinistryAwakened to Deliver is listener-supported.If this podcast blesses you, consider giving via Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, or monthly through Patreon—details in the Linktree.⸻Music Credits• “Paphos” by MountaineerLicensed through PremiumBeat by Shutterstock under a Creator License.
