“The Covenant is God’s rescuing His people from that which would harm or destroy them; calling them and their children to live intimately with Him in faith, love and obedience, fearful of displeasing Him; lovingly with one another; distinct from, envied by and as a witness to the world; in humble expectation of receiving from Him, at His appointed time, everything He has promised-signed and sealed in blood-through His appointed Mediator.”
- Pastor Steve Schlissel
