Life in the Covenant: In Family, Church, and World - Hardcover

by Wilbur Bruinsma (Author)

God said to Abraham, "I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee" (Gen. 17:7; cf. Lev. 26:12, Ezek. 37:27, Jer. 30:22). This covenant is the intimate relationship of fellowship he has chosen to share with his people in Jesus Christ. God has blessed his Old and New Testament church by way of the truth of the covenant even as he blessed Abraham. The truth of the covenant comforts us in distress, encourages us in our battle against our enemies, and gives strength when we are weak. We as believers must embrace the truth of God's covenant by developing and nurturing a worldview that is rooted in the blessed relationship which our heavenly Father has made with us in Christ.

With the heart of a pastor and the passion of a preacher, Wilbur Bruinsma has written a book that will help believers combat the influences of both the world and our own sin that threaten the Christian home and church. As a practical exposition of the doctrine of God's covenant, this volume will aid children of the covenant in directing their lives unto God-in the family, among other saints, and as they live in the midst of an unbelieving world.
