Notes

1. Since the children of Christ are the children of Abraham and partakers of the blessings of the Abrahamic covenant, we conclude that the term "Covenant with Abraham" is simply another name for the new covenant.

2. The term "Everlasting Covenant" is only another name for the new, or renewed covenant.

3. Thus we see that these terms are all applied to one and the same covenant, but in each one it is viewed from a different standpoint. From the standpoint of God and those beings who have never sinned, it is God's everlasting covenant; from the standpoint of sinners saved by faith, it is the new or renewed covenant; from the standpoint of an Israelite, it is the Abrahamic covenant; from the standpoint of the strife and confusion of sin, it is the covenant of peace.
