In this pastoral reflection, Pastor Ian Thompson explores the cyclical history of biblical covenants, illustrating a recurring pattern of divine initiative followed by human failure. The text outlines several historical agreements—ranging from Eden to the Davidic kingdom—noting that while God consistently offered blessing and order, humanity repeatedly succumbed to disobedience and rebellion. Thompson argues that these failures were ultimately resolved through the Covenant of Grace, established at the Cross. In this final agreement, Jesus Christ fulfilled the obligations that humanity could not, shifting the burden of faithfulness from man to God. Consequently, the author suggests that salvation is defined by divine persistence rather than human performance, inviting believers to rest in a promise that is impossible to break
