Covenant vs. Promise
A promise is an agreement based on words whereas a covenant is based on blood. God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
John 3:16, that's the blood. It is the blood of Jesus that the covenant of love is based on.
God has a covenant of love with those that love and obey Him
Nehemiah 1:5. Therefore, we must believe that God desires and deserves to be present and active in our lives. It is the will of God to bring His dreams and visions to life in us. Likewise He knows the trouble that will trouble us and He will reward and deliver those that love, obey and seek Him.
