DENNIS
Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church.
A covenant is a contract between two parties, which binds the parties to specific terms and agreements. For example, when a person purchases a home, he or she will sign a contract detailing the terms of the purchases. Under normal circumstances, this contract is legally binding. However, we know that some of these contracts are broken.
Similarly, there was a time in our country’s history when a covenant was made with a handshake. This wasn’t legally binding of course. Instead, the two parties would keep to the agreement based on honor and honesty. A person’s word was considered their bond. We can also assume that these contracts were broken from time to time.
In our relationship with God, He too has made a covenant with us. His Word is His bond. The great news is that the contract is based on His grace. Because of grace, we are able to recognize that we are His children. So, the question for today is: How are you holding up your end of the contract? I invite you to recommit to it right now.
