Covenants between God and people play a significant role in biblical history. God made covenants with Noah, Abraham, and all of Israel through Moses. In addition, there was David's covenant, as well as the New Covenant promised by God through the prophet Jeremiah. The prophet Isaiah also speaks of God's covenant, but in a very unusual way. Conveying God's words, Isaiah asserts that God will make a covenant with the Messiah himself, the Servant of the Lord. This promise is of great significance. It helps us understand the nature of salvation and its practical role.
