Explain four characteristics of a covenant demonstrated in the covenant between God and Abraham.

A covenant is made between two parties who enter into a mutual agreement. God and Abraham were the two parties that entered into a mutual agreement.
A covenant has an outward sign; Abraham was to circumcise all his male children.
In a covenant, promises are made; God made several promises of what he would do for Abraham.
The covenant is solemnized through rituals/ceremonies. Abraham offered animals/birds as a sacrifice to God.
A covenant has conditions/obligations to be met; the covenant between God and Abraham was not to be broken. It bound even his descendant’s generations later.
During covenant making, there were witnesses. God as the sole initiator passed through the sacrifice as a witness.
A covenant is sealed. It was sealed through the blood of animals.
