can someone explain all the covenants between abram and god?

Question

like really explain it alot

Answer 1

Abraham first received the gospel by baptism (which is the covenant of salvation). Then he had conferred upon him the higher priesthood, and he entered into celestial marriage (which is the covenant of exaltation), gaining assurance thereby that he would have eternal increase. Finally he received a promise that all of these blessings would be offered to all of his mortal posterity. Included in the divine promises to Abraham were the assurances that1 Christ would come through his lineage, and that2 Abraham’s posterity would receive certain lands as an eternal inheritance. These promises taken together are called the Abrahamic covenant. It was renewed with Isaac and again with Jacob.
The portions of the covenant that pertain to personal salvation and eternal increase are renewed with each individual who receives the ordinance of celestial marriage. Those of non-Israelite lineage, commonly known as gentiles, are adopted into the house of Israel, and become heirs of the covenant and the seed of Abraham, through the ordinances of the gospel (Gal. 3: 26-29).
Being an heir to the Abrahamic covenant does not make one a “chosen person” per se, but does signify that such are chosen to responsibly carry the gospel to all the peoples of the earth. Abraham’s seed have carried out the missionary activity in all the nations since Abraham’s day.

Answer 2

The covenant between God and Abram/Abraham was that:

1. God would make a great nation of his descendants,
and
2. All the nations of the earth would be blessed through him (that is, Abraham)

The first was (obviously) fulfilled.

Of the second, St Paul says (and it is a long and detailed reasoning) that Abraham's FAITH (not his keeping of the Law, which in any case did not come for another 400 years) in God's promise was 'counted as righteousness'. Therefore anyone who has faith in God will receive God's blessings.

This may all seem too simple and glib (well it does, doesn't it?), but it is far deeper and more profound than a few words can express. It is the message of St Paul's letter to the Galatians, which is a good (but not easy) place to start if you want to find more. Also read the letter of James.

Answer 3

Abraham was the first person to recognise that there is one G-d and only one G-d. The covenant between G-d and the Jews is an eternal one, which is why it's so absurd when Christians say that their religion 'completes' Judaism - it doesn't. Judaism is a complete theology in and of itself!

Answer 4

God has a covenant to not flood the earth again, and God sent the Mesiah, so that we could be saved, you need to ask more a more detailed question and I will try to give you a better answer, I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.
