Hello,

I would like to discuss Catholic and Orthodox understandings, terminologies, etc. on the idea of covenant. The covenants that God made throughout salvation history and covenant as it applies to sacramental theology (i.e., Holy Mysteries as actions/renewals of covenant).

A covenant, when used in the context of our relationship to God, is an agreement between God and His people, wherein they receive blessings and special status, and they pledge to remain faithful to the One True God, and to the commands that He gives them.
