The covenants of God served many functions. The covenants provided a form of social organization and a guide to behaviour. They were essential in creating binding relationships of faith, serious life-long relationships. King George of England in 1939 as WW2 loomed large, understood the essence of the covenant, as did his forbear Abraham. The King reminded his people at that critical time in history to, "Go out into the darkness and put your hand in the hand of God. It will be better than a light and safer than the known way." Abraham was able to leave his homeland and journey to a new land, not knowing where he was going, because if his covenant with the Lord God and his trust in the covenantal promises.

When Paul wrote that Christ was the firstborn he was highlighting the importance of God's right to select the firstborn. This choosing of the firstborn was typical of ancient societies, but also an important element in the scriptural record. God recorded the story of Jacob and the way in which Ephraim was selected to be 'firstborn' in Israel. As such he was to take a leading role in the covenant relationship with the Lord God that was being passed down from his grandfather, Jacob. God often provides us physical types to help us understand spiritual relationships. When it comes to the covenant, God's covenant was different from that of the surrounding nations. Curses and utter destruction on those who broke the covenant were common themes in the covenants of pagan rulers. But God's covenant began with blessings. And though there were the curses, they did not lead to utter destruction. Rather, they were a matter of discipline to cause people to return to God. As seen through history and prophecy, God always offered the hope of restoration and renewal through the covenant relationship. Learn more about God's covenant faithfulness and mercy.
