“Living Pure Relationally”

 #1.  God is a covenant-making God

 

            My covenant was with him.  Malachi 2:4, 5

 

 

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike your head and you will strike his heel.            Genesis 2:15

 

 

 I will establish my covenant with you.      Genesis 9:8, 9, 12

 

 

 I may make my covenant between me and you.  Genesis 17:1, 2

 

 

If we are faithless, He will remain faithful, for He cannot disown Himself.     2 Timothy 2:13

 

 

Have we not all one father?  Did not one God create us?  Then why do we profane the covenant of our ancestors by breaking faith with one another?                                   Malachi 2:10

 

 

 #2.  God expects us to be covenant-keeping people

 

Another thing you do: You flood the Lord’s altar with tears.  You weep and wail because He no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.  You ask, “Why?”  It is because the Lord is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.”                                Malachi 2:13, 14

 

 

 

So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.  Malachi 2:16b
