The Eight Covenants of God

The New Covenant is the last of the eight great covenants of God in Scripture.

  1. Endemic Covenant – Genesis 2:16 – Relationship—Christ is the “second representative man” and the “last man,” with Adam being the first (1 Corinthians 15:45-47). He restores all that was lost by Adam (Colossians 2:10; Hebrews 2:7-9).
  2. Adamic Covenant – Genesis 3:15 – Relationship—He is the seed of the woman (of the human race) (Genesis 3:15; John 12:31; Galatians 4:4; 1 John 3:8; Revelation 20:10) and fulfilled its conditions of toil (Mark 6:3) and obedience (Philippians 2:8; Hebrews 5:8).
  3. Noahic Covenant – Genesis 9:16 – Relationship—the promise to Shem (Genesis 9:16; Colossians 2:9).
  4. Abrahamic Covenant – Genesis 12:2 – Relationship—the seed to whom the promises referred (Genesis 22:18; Galatians 3:16; Philippians 2:8).
  5. Mosaic Covenant – Exodus 19:5 – Relationship—He died sinlessly, kept the Law, and released man from its curse (Galatians 3:10-13).
  6. Palestinian Covenant – 2 Samuel 7:16 – Relationship—Lived obediently as a Jew in the land and will yet perform its gracious promise (Deuteronomy 28:1 through 30:9).
  7. Davidic Covenant – 2 Samuel 7:8-17; Zechariah 12:8; Luke 1:31-33; Acts 15:14-17; 1 Corinthians 15:24 – Relationship—Christ is the Seed, Heir, and King under the Davidic Covenant (Matthew 1:1; Luke 1:31-33).
  8. The New Covenant – The sacrifice of Christ secures blessedness under the Abrahamic covenant (Galatians 3:13-29) of all who believe. It is absolutely unconditional with no responsibility of man (other than to believe), and is final and irreversible – Relationship—Christ’s sacrifice is the foundation of the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25).

The relationship of Christ to the eight covenants:

The Koiné Greek word díathēkē is rendered both “testament” and “covenant.” Promised in the Old Testament, fulfilled in the New Testament, in the future, and in eternity. Christ came from glory, completed His work for us, and went back to Heaven in glory, to appear before the Father—forever the God-man.
