They are both in scripture BUT there is a difference! DISPENSATION – a system of order, government, or organization of a nation, community, etc., especially as existing at a particular time. COVENANT – Literally, a contract. In the Bible (see also Bible), an agreement between God and his people, in which God makes promises to his people and, usually, requires certain conduct from them. In the Old Testament, God made agreements with Noah, Abraham, and Moses. 1 Corinthians 9:17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensationof the gospel is committed unto me. Ephesians 1:1That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians 3:2If ye have heard of the dispensationof the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Colossians 1:25Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensationof God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Luke 1:72To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holycovenant; Acts 3:25Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Acts 7:8And he gave him the covenantof circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. Romans 1:31Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Romans 9:4Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Romans 11:27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Galatians 3:17And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Galatians 4:24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. Ephesians 2:12That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: Hebrews 8:6-10 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a bettercovenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that firstcovenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a newcovenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Hebrews 8:13In that he saith, A newcovenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Hebrews 9:1Then verily the firstcovenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. Hebrews 9:4Which had the golden censer, and the ark of thecovenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of thecovenant; Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; Hebrews 10:29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 12:24And to Jesus the mediator of the newcovenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 13:20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlastingcovenant
When talking with people about the Bible, Spiritual things, Salvation, etc… The subject of just “WHO IS JESUS” will arise. Most will say he is a prophet, the son of God. When they are told that He was (is) God in flesh, the response is: “Nowhere in the Bible does it say JESUS IS GOD”, and that is a true statement.
However, as one searches the Scripture there are many statements proving the He was (is) in fact: God. Just a Few in Isaiah: First there is only God: Isaiah 41:4, 43:10-12, 45:5-7,14,18,21-22, 46:9. Only ONE God. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. A promise (fulfilled in Matthew 1-2, Luke 2).
The apostle John said Jesus was God: John 1:1-3,10-14. (Jesus is the Word).
The Scriptures state that the Lord Jesus created the world. Ephesians 3:9, Colossians 1:16, Revelation 4:11, 10:6
But look at the following: The Lord Jesus said (Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
“My Words,” he was speaking of the Scriptures, The Old Testament. Who wrote the Bible? God! HE is claiming that He is God.
Genesis 1:1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: Isaiah 43:10-11Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. Isaiah44:8Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Isaiah45:5-7 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Isaiah 45:14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else. Isaiah 45:21-22 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Isaiah48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. Isaiah 48:16Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Mark 12:32And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 1 Corinthians 8:6But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
It’s about time, it’s about space It’s all about the human race. It’s about man and his evil ways, And he continues in sin all his days. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about me, it’s about you, It’s about our being sinners too! It’s about sin and what it cost, All about dying and being lost. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about heaven and another place, It’s about God’s redeeming grace. It’s about what happens to the soul, It’s about the day and where you’ll go. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about the man from Galilee, Who lived his life perfectly, To fulfill the law and pay the price That I should die only once, not twice. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about the price that had to be paid, It’s about God and the sacrifice He made. It’s about His Son upon the cross, It’s about His dying for the lost. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about His coming up out of the grave, Victory He promised, lost souls to save! Taken into Heaven amidst all Glory and Laud, Seated on His throne next to God! That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about life, new life eternally, Life that’s a gift, completely free. Life that’s given to those who believe, And who Christ as Savior will believe! That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about accepting God’s great love, It’s about rising to new heights above. Above the world and it’s evil way, Looking ahead for Christ to return some day. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about His coming to take me home, To dwell with Him no more to roam. With power over sin, no more to stray, Power from Him will be given that day! That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about that wonderous, glorious time, To hear the Master claim “This one’s mine”! We’ll be with Him forever to praise, Forever, forever no ending of days! That’s the Bible, The Word of God.
As one studies these in the Scripture, it does appear that God uses the elements to show that He is God. They are used to discipline mankind as we continue to reject Him.
