Covenant is more than a lawful agreement between two or more parties. In the old testament, people will usually have an incision on their wrists and be joined together at the wrist to signify they are now in covenant. Whatever one party has, the other has also. There is no longer an distinction between whose assets they belong to. Both parties now have all their assets combined.
When God cuts a covenant with man, God can keep His part but man can't and God knows it all along from the beginning. That's why when God cut a covenant with Abraham, God put Abraham to sleep and in his place, a pillar of fire goes through the cut pieces of the animals and God, represented by a pillar of cloud, goes through them in the opposite direction. In that instance, God the Father cuts a covenant with God the Son! That's why Jesus has to die at the cross for man's transgressions and his sins!
For by one man's offense, all are made sinners. And through that One Man's sacrifice at the cross, whosoever accepts Him and His salvation is made the righteousness of God! What Jesus has accomplished at the cross is so much more than what Adam has committed in the beginning. For the precious blood of Jesus is able to cleanse us of our sin and sins forever and for everyone who had lived and the very last man who will ever live! Whoever accepts the gift of righteousness are being grafted into the kingdom of God and can come to the throne of grace in times of need to cry out Abba, Father!
Adam was originally given the key to govern the earth and to have dominion over it. Yet he gave up his right to the devil when he sinned against God in the garden of Eden. It will not be righteous for God to just take the key away from the devil "forcefully" as it will be an injustice for God to do so. God is a just God. He has the master plan to send Jesus to die at the cross and to rise from the grave three days later to show the world He has conquered death and the devil has no right to the key and no right to stand before God to accuse Christians of any sin.
For Jesus has come to earth that He created to be a Man so that He can righteously redeem man from his sin! It takes a kinsman redeemer to redeem man from his state of sin and to cleanse him of all his sins. God cannot just forgive all the sins that men had committed or are committing or will commit by sweeping them under the carpet. He has to judicially judge man for his sins and He did it through the sacrificial work of Jesus at the cross. Through that one complete sacrifice at the cross by Christ Jesus, whosoever believes in Him is made the righteousness of God in Christ!
God has kept His part of the covenant and Jesus has, on behalf of men, kept the other part of the covenant! Now! We have what Jesus has! We inherit what Jesus inherits! We have His shalom peace which He bequeathed to us! We are made prosperous for Jesus has no lack. We are made whole in our bodies for Jesus is full of health and energy and power!
Thank you Abba Father for Your faithfulness in keeping Your part of the covenant You cut with man. And thank you Jesus for keeping man's part of the covenant. And thank you Holy Spirit for indwelling in us forever for those who have accepted the gift of salvation. We are to reign in life through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. Hallelujah!
