    About this ebook

    God the Covenants and You was created to bring an understanding for the reasons and purposes for the Covenants God made with Abraham, Moses and the Covenant of the New Testament under the blood of Jesus Christ. I present the analogies of the two sons of Abraham which depicts the old Testament and the new Testament. I also present the ideal walk of the Christian as he endeavors to grow in faith and walk accordingly.

    Mary Esther Wacaster

    I am a mother of 4 sons; 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. I began writing poems when I was 17 or 18. Many of my poems were inspired by my own experiences, but many were also inspired by what I saw and heard from others and from studies from the Bible.. Many of my later poems have double meaning; thoughts from a physical standpoint, and thoughts from a spiritual standpoint. I sincerely hope that as the reader goes through this small collection of my poems, that he can draw comfort both physically and spiritually, as I did.

      The Pilgrim

      Preface

      I feel I can understand how the prophets felt trying to make the people understand the Word Of The Lord! I think I can feel the pain that Jesus had when He tried so hard to make even His disciples understand, and He could only whisper:

      Mat 17:17: "Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?"

      Now, some will scoff at me; some will read a part of this document and put it down because it has offended them; but it is my hope and purpose that some will read with open mind and heart all the way through the document and give it some serious thought. Some will say I am not stern enough, and others will say that I am far too liberal while on the other hand, others will say I am too stern and not liberal enough. But it is what I believe and try desperately to live by, and I have tried to convey more understanding to the reader.

      And I am only one little old female trying to live out what I have come to understand what the New Testament is trying to enlighten us on. Never did I ever deserve such grace or understanding, but there it is, in my life finally giving me even an ounce of courage, trying to shout out the wonder and mercy of that grace.

      The Lord is my Shepherd and I will not fail. He leads me into green refreshing pastures to feed that satisfy. He leads me by the refreshing stillness of living waters. He leads me in His paths of righteousness for His Name’s Sake, and restored my soul, and returned me into His folds. Although I walk through this valley of death I will not be concerned with evil. His Truth and His Spirit do comfort me! He prepared a table before me in the presence of His enemies, and anointed my head with oil. He filled my cup with the sweetest wine, although at times my cup flows over with sorrow. His goodness and mercy has fulfilled my life; I shall surely dwell with Him forever.

      Introduction

      Jesus is God because He was with God in the beginning - the Word. He therefore has the attributes of the Divine. Jesus is Son because He was born of woman. He therefore has the attributes of man and can understand human flesh. Because He holds both attributes, He feels and understands as we do, yet has the authority and power to execute righteous justice, because, being divine, He understands the thoughts of the Divine. God could not stay (as to walk among) in the presence of evil, for the light has no part of darkness; therefore, God became flesh (John 1:14) to walk into the presence of sin to lead us out of Egypt (sin) and into the desert of testing" (the wilderness of this world), putting us in the position of being in the world but not of the world.

      He emptied Himself!

      He paid the debt that we owed, redeeming us as His Own: proffering gratuitously to reach out to man to return to Him. Basically, the Old Testament is concerned with bringing us to Christ.

      There is much repetition in my book, but it is by repetition that we gain knowledge and understanding, and persevere in our Faith. God was pertinacious concerning His covenants, and the three that we need to be most concerned with are:

      The covenant of Faith with Abraham. This was a covenant for obedience by Faith from Abraham, and God promised to make a great nation of Abraham and that they would possess the land of Canaan.

      The covenant with the children of Israel. The law then was given to Moses at that time. (Exodus 19:3-6) God alone set the conditions, and in return for Israel’s loyalty and obedience God promised to love Israel and protect them, giving them His presence. (Exodus 33:13-17). The Jews broke covenant with God again and again, and God destroyed
