Covenant w/o conditions=PROMISE
Most covenants in ancient times were two-party agreements. That is, each person or group involved specified what he or she would do to carry out the agreement. If one side failed to perform, the agreement was broken, and the other side was no longer obligated.
But look at God’s covenant with Noah. It is pure promise! God made no conditions. There are no “ifs.” Instead God simply said, “I now make a commitment to you and your descendants. Never again. Never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” Whatever humanity may do, God remains committed to this promise made to Noah.
The next time you see a rainbow, let it remind you of God’s amazing grace.
