<!-- interlanguage:start -->[[ko:하나님의 언약]]<!-- interlanguage:end -->'''God’s covenant''' refers to the sacred promise between [[God]] and His people, often described as a contract or agreement. God established a covenant with His chosen people, and through it, He carried out the work of redemption. Throughout history, those who have upheld God’s covenant have been blessed and saved as God’s people.

There are two primary types of covenants: the [[Old Covenant|old covenant]] and the [[New Covenant|new covenant.]] The old covenant was the agreement between God and the people of Israel, spanning from the time of Moses until the arrival of [[Jesus Christ]]. The new covenant is the new agreement that Jesus Christ established with humanity. In the Old Testament, God’s covenant was simply recorded as a “covenant.” However, after the establishment of the new covenant in the New Testament era, the covenant of the Old Testament came to be known as the “old covenant” or “the first covenant.” The terms ''[[The Old Testament|Old Testament]]'' and ''[[The New Testament|New Testament]]'' originate from this distinction. In essence, the [[Bible]] itself can be understood as the covenant given by God.
