Catholic scholar, John Bergsma, captures a glimpse of salvation history by framing it with 7 covenants*. These covenants are intended to bring mankind into divine filiation, that is, into His family as sons and daughters. This is God’s plan for us. We will see why covenants, and not contracts, are necessary to becoming family. Furthermore, we are given a peek into the Master’s workshop, where He created all that exists. There, with love, He brought order and inhabitants to the “formlessness and emptiness” that existed previously. Finally, we will see that man was put here to be like Him, just children are like their parents.
