Covenants generally require two parties to agree. When we enter into a covenant, we expect the other party to faithfully honor their commitments and perform their responsibilities according to the guidelines of the covenant.
Deuteronomy 7:9 says, “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.” A covenant requires two parties to agree. God initiated His covenant with His children and has sealed His participation in it with steadfast love and faithfulness. Our part is to love Him and walk faithfully with Him.
