In the Bible, a covenant is like being a part of a family. As part of a family, good-bad-or indifferent, death ends a family covenant.
Some families try to
make their children into contracts, lives based on behavior only. Some churches
try to make their congregations live mostly by contract behavior, “thou shalt
and shalt not” emphasis. A covenant relationship with God means you are in a
family based on love and forgiveness, not JUST behavior.
And
although your life also ends in a death, God’s covenant promises through the
physical death you can receive a new life with Him and the eternal family.
All
those who will come to Him will NOT be thrown out.
