Genesis · Genesis 12:1-20
It begins with a call and a promise: "I will make of you a great nation... and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." Grace before law.
Genesis · Genesis 15:1-21
God seals the promise himself, alone passing between the pieces. Abram "believed the LORD, and it was counted to him as righteousness."
Exodus · Exodus 19:1-25
At Sinai God makes Israel "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" — the covenant people given his law and his presence.
Exodus · Exodus 21:1-36
The covenant sealed in blood: "Behold the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you." Foreshadowing the cup Jesus will raise.
2 Samuel · 2 Samuel 7:1-29
God's covenant with David: an offspring and a throne "established forever" — the backbone of messianic hope, fulfilled in the Son of David.
Jeremiah · Jeremiah 31:1–40
The promise of something new: "I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts... I will forgive their iniquity." The covenant that answers the broken heart.
Luke · Luke 22
The new covenant inaugurated: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood." Every earlier covenant gathers and finds its fulfillment here.
Matthew · Matthew 27
The blood of the new covenant poured out — the cross where God keeps every promise he ever made and reconciles a people to himself forever.
