The covenant between Abraham and God is like a person's legal will where no one can just alter or revoke it. And it is to Abraham and one seed who is Christ. The law which was given 430 years after the covenant cannot change it that was confirmed before God in Christ. The promise should still be in effect for if the deliverance from sin is by the law it is no longer by promise but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
1) God's covenant relationship with us and not contractual. He loves me so much that he is willing to love me, redeem me and bought me with his own blood.
2) Deliverance from sin can only come from faith like Abraham through Christ the seed whom the promise is made to.
3) The law cannot abolish the covenant through the promise given to Abraham.
God's love for me is immense. Now it is up to me to respond to his love.
Faith is the victory. As much as we seem like legalists, it is faith that conquers, faith that saves. That does not do away with the law as we will see tmr.
A covenant is one that one is supposed to uphold through thick and thin even when things don't seem to go well, just like marriage and family. If God gone through so much for me, how much then will I go through for Him?
