Why does God work through Covenants?

In this first episode of Mountains & Mediators, Dr. John Bergsma defines what a covenant is and explains its significance regarding our relationship with God. Throughout Salvation History, God has made various covenants with humanity that are divided up between the Old and New Covenants. Dr. Bergsma explains that the Old Covenants were temporary and have been fulfilled and completed through the New and eternal Covenant established by Christ.
The intention of these covenants is to help reconcile man back to God, who we view as a Father. This belief is unique as no other world religion shares this same belief of God.

Thank you so much for the excellent video. How I wish this material had been taught to me 45 years ago during the Lutheran college and seminary days. It would definitely have changed the course of my life. Thank you again for your efforts. Pax

Interesting lecture. One question. What if we are God's children by nature and only left the family (Prodigal Son) when we rejected God's fatherhood in the Garden (original sin) and covenant is like the father of the prodigal son, a kinship already and eternally there to be accepted? I think this understanding is in accord with the Franciscan tradition that kept me Catholic even in the darkest of nights of my soul. We did not change our nature, but God offered us kinship, fatherhood, and we reject that reality fighting against our own nature.

God made an eternal covenant also with the people of Israel. It was not a temporary covenant.

why would a god want to hang out with humans..makes no sense ..the power imbalance is enormous..like us trying to be pals with with a pet rabbit.
