Covenant Faithfulness
Jul 10, 2015 • Pastor Derek Vreeland
We know God by approximation and encounter. Within the approximation we have been given by the church we see that God is righteous. Righteousness is a Bible word that many fail to understand. God’s righteousness is his covenant faithfulness. This reimagining of the word righteousness fits within the big story the Bible tells: a story of creation, corruption, covenant, and new creation. God has remained faithful to his covenant to bless the world through Israel. As followers of Jesus the Messiah we are invited to participate with God in blessing and restoring the world as we seek after his covenant faithfulness and embody it as we live our lives of worship, work, and play.
