Abrahams sacrificing of Isaac is different than Jesus death on the cross because Isaac didn’t know he was going to be sacrificed on the alter and Jesus knew he was going to have to die to save us from our sins. Isaac didn’t actually die and Jesus did.

God’s Covenant with Israel
Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant I will make you my treasured possession although the whole earth is mine you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation these are the words you are to speak to the Israelites. God gave the Israelites the ten commandments so they will have laws and rules to follow so they could keep there part of the covenant. To get the ten commandments moses had to go to the top of the mountain and speak with God. God would say the ten commandments and moses would write it on a stone.

God’s Covenant with David

The old laws were written on stone tablet and the new laws where in our minds and stored away in our hearts with the lords promise. The people no longer need priests or prophets to show them how to know and love the Lord the old covenant was between the God and the believers.

As I think about the covenants and promises God has made with his people so long ago I realize These covenants with the people from Bible times relates to me through the commands and the descendants the covenant with Noah relates to me through the rainbow. We still see that as a sign of the covenant today. These covenants relate to me because they have been here all these years. We still see signs of them all around the world.I try my best to obey Gods laws and follow his covenants but I still fall into sin .
