Marriage Covenant Theology – Part 3
Since mankind’s fall into sin, the gospel of God’s gracious salvation has both existed and operated based upon the three fundamental categories of a marriage covenant: Procurement, Promises, and Penalty. Old covenant Israel is no longer the wife of God, the people of God, the holy nation or place where His holy city, priests, and prophetic promises reside. Per God’s divorce from her and His plan under the New Covenant, this role now belongs to the Church.
