This message addresses some further summary considerations and concludes this series on the biblical covenants. In particular it shows how the covenants provided the basic structure of the salvation history, and are the vehicle that carried it forward to its climax in the person and work of Jesus the Messiah. And since the Old Testament scriptures are the record of the salvation history, and the New Testament writings address that history's fulfillment in Jesus, it follows that the covenants are absolutely critical to interpreting both the Scriptures and the "Christ event" (i.e., everything pertaining to the person and work of Jesus).
