Who did God first enter the covenant with?

Answer 1

Firstly let us see just what a Covenant is. In the gospel sense, a covenant is a binding and solemn compact, agreement, contract or mutual promise between God and a single person or group of chosen persons.

Adam was the first man to receive and to make covenants with God. Accordingly many righteous men have had covenants and made covenants with God, Abraham and Noah are but two.

Two covenants stand out in mind which God has made with man. 1. The new and everlasting covenant, meaning the fullness of the gospel and 2. A new and everlasting covenant of marriage. Both covenants are when man makes covenants of exaltation.

Remember to keep the covenants God has made with His chosen people.

AnswerIt depends which covenant? There was one with Noah, with Abraham, with Moses and the final replaceall, the new covenant sealed with Christ's blood.

A biblical Covenant is more than a promise or an agreement, it is a complete giving of oneself to another being. In this case, the "being" is God. There was only one Covenant in The Bible. The Covenant was the creation of man and then the Sabbath. The Covenant with Adam & Eve was the 2nd part of the Covenant. Noah was the 3rd part, Moses the 4th, and the Covenant sealed with Jesus' blood was the last part of the Covenant.

Answer 2

God made a covenant with people starting with the beginning of time. God made the first covenant with Adam & Eve; which they promptly broke. The rainbow is another covenant, one still in play- the symbol that shows that the LORD will never flood the earth again, and he hasn't. Like this, God had made many covenants throughout history with his people, and we're always the ones who end up breaking them.

Answers will vary with this question depending upon the parties answering. As a 'Covenant' is an agreement between two parties - in a biblical sense between Almighty God and mankind - then some point to the very beginning in the Garden. They call this the Edenic - Adamic Covenant in that it has two parts. The initial part is referred to as a Covenant of 'Innocence' and after the fall (sin) is is called a Covenant of 'Grace.' Others will surely disagree with this.

Having created Adam and Eve, God initiated a relationship with them that was unique among all of His creatures. While all other creatures are generally governed by instinct, Adam and Eve (and all descendants) have free will yet they were personally instructed in God's way. They were to obey God's commands and grow in that bond with Him. He intended to be their Father and teacher, and they in turn, would be His children and disciples (followers by imitating).

Though it would be improper to say that God established a covenant with Adam and Eve, it is proper and clear that a relationship was established with them. That relationship had certain stipulations based on obedience and promises as any agreement or covenant has. They were to work by maintaining the garden and keeping it beautiful (Genesis 2:15). In the process they could eat of all the trees there except for one, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And if they did take of that forbidden tree, dire consequences and penalties would result (Genesis 2:16-17) which is the case with all agreements/covenants.
