From Bill & Mel —Information Borrowed from Compelling Truth & Got Questions websites. Unconditional Covenants are an agreement between two parties, but only one of the two parties has to do something. Nothing is required of the other party. The Noahic Covenant was an unconditional covenant between God & Noah (specifically) & humanity (generally). After the Flood, God promised humanity that He would never again destroy all life on earth with a Flood (see Genesis chapter 9). God gave the rainbow as the sign of the covenant, a promise that the entire earth would never again flood & a reminder that God can & will judge sin (2 Peter 2:5). In the Abrahamic Covenant God promised many things to Abraham. He personally promised that He would make Abraham’s name great (Genesis 12:2), that Abraham would have numerous physical descendants (Genesis 13:16), & that he would be the father of a multitude of nations (Genesis 17:4-5). God said Abraham’s enemies would be His enemies & his supporters would be blessed. God also made promises regarding a nation called Israel. In fact, the geographical boundaries of the Abrahamic Covenant are described in the book of Genesis (12:7; 13:14-15; 15:18-21). Another provision in the Abrahamic Covenant is that the families of the world will be blessed through the physical line of Abraham (Genesis 12:3; 22:18). This is a reference to the Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus, who would come from the line of Abraham. — Our God is a covenant keeper! Love Mel
