In this episode, Brian and Pastor Jay discuss Westminster Confession of Faith chapter 7 and the biblical theme of covenant. They trace God’s covenant promises from Jeremiah 31, Genesis 15, and Hebrews, showing how Jesus is both the priest and sacrifice of the better covenant, then consider how covenant theology helps Christians understand the unity of Scripture, the gospel, and God’s promise never to leave his people.
