From Pastor Clay Runnels
God chose the ones with whom He cut covenant because they were foolish and weak so that He could show His wisdom and strength to them and through them until He could cut a covenant with a man just like Himself Who would become the firstborn among many brethren.
He cut covenant with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus.
God’s covenant with Jesus:
• fulfilled His promise to Adam and Eve and restored what Adam lost.
• fulfilled His promise to Noah not to destroy the earth and everything in it again in order to judge sin.
• fulfilled His promise to Abraham to bless all the nations in the earth through his seed (and much more).
• fulfilled and completed the final part of the law – the curse and judgement of sin.
• fulfilled God’s promise to David to put his descendant on the throne forever.
• extended covenant mercy to all who put their faith in Him.
And through faith in Christ Jesus and the infilling of Holy Spirit, God gives us the authority and power to overcome foolishness and weakness and live as sons of God.
