THE RIGHTEOUS BRIDE (excerpt): The LORD Will Teach You His Covenant
by Tonja Taylor All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. Who is the man who fears the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with submissive wonder]? He will teach him [through His word] in the way he should choose. His soul will dwell in prosperity and goodness, And his descendants will inherit the land. The secret [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him, And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning. - Psalm 25:10,12-14, AMP
The LORD Himself is faithfulness! He cannot be unfaithful. When He makes a promise, He always keeps it. He is Yahweh, the Covenant God!
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. - 2 Tim. 2:13, NKJV
When we receive Christ Jesus as our Savior and LORD by repenting of our sin, and believing in the cleansing of His blood for us from our sins, we enter into Covenant with God.
Hallelujah!
From what I understand, a covenant is a permanent agreement, where both parties are to put the best of the other above themselves, even at personal sacrifice.
Jesus, of course, always does His part, and He offered Himself as the perfect Sacrifice, so we could simply agree that we needed to be saved from our sins, so we could come into divine eternal relationship with Him and God the Father, and escape hell, now and after our bodies die. Hallelujah!
There is way too much to that for me to cover it here, but please do your own research, and God will show you more!
All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness To those who keep His covenant...says Psalm 25:10.
These are just a part of the good things the LORD gives us, when we keep His covenant--which means live by His Word, the Holy Bible, and worship and pray and attend a Bible-believing church; live a consecrated life, to His glory.
Truly we can't do anything right apart from Him, not even do the things I listed above.
It is His Spirit that gives us every breath, and inspires and helps and guides us to desire and to do His good will.
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. - Phil. 2:13, KJV
Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant; make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you[fn] what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. -- Hebrews 13:20-21, NKJV
So, when we submit to the LORD, by following HIs ways the best we know, He will guide us and help us to follow Him. He is the ultimate loving Daddy God, and He delights in us and adores us! He enjoys pouring out His Blessing on us!
When we follow His ways, He gives us wise counsel (that is always pure, and always in our best interest, because God is Love (I John 4:8)!), and prosperity in every part of life, and that Blessing pours out on our children!
God is the Covenant God, and the New Covenant through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, the only Way to Heaven, the only Messiah, the only Savior and LORD of the world, is even better than the first covenant!
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments. - Deut. 7:9, Berean Standard Bible
God is good, and all good, but you don't have to take my word for it!
However, every good thing in your life--including every breath!--is from God, Who created you, sustains you, and has brought you to this writing.
Ask Him to show you His Covenant even more, and He will!
The secret [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him, And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning. - Psalm 25:14, AMP
