Season two of Love in Context podcast welcomes you.
Get ready for engaging unscripted conversations with your hosts, Ben and Spencer.
Our mission remains unchanged to explore the Bible through the powerful lens of love.
In this new season, we'll embark on a journey together, unearthing fresh insights and gaining
deeper understanding of how we can love God and live out our faith in practical ways.
So let's dive into this season of Love in Context, where love in the context of the
Bible intersect to transform our lives.
Hey there and welcome back to Love in Context podcast with Ben and Spencer.
Spencer has a chocolate chip cookie given to us by an awesome lady in our church and
he's going to crunch and munch and eat it all up in the microphone today.
He can't say anything.
Well, if you're watching this on YouTube, you can actually tell he can't say anything
because he got ready to, but then he realized his mouth is full and he will sound absurd.
The cookie was delicious though.
Cookies are delicious.
We are in week three of our covenant series.
We talked about the Abrahamic covenant.
We talked about the Noahic covenant and today we're going to be talking about the hopes.
I said I said Abrahamic Abrahamic today.
We're talking about Abrahamic today.
We talked about Adamic.
Yes.
And Noahic.
And now today we're going to be talking about the Abrahamic.
He's even read your Bible.
I do sometimes.
OK.
All right.
So yeah, it's it's the Cliff Notes version Bible.
Yeah.
You ever think have they actually made that that'd be interesting to look at?
I don't know.
But like I'm a bullet point personality and like something like that would be intriguing
to me.
I'd also be like I would take it with a very large grain of salt.
It's probably like the the Cliff Note version would be like the the Bible Project.
Yeah.
Read scripture videos, which are really good.
I like those a lot.
Yeah.
So just a reminder what covenants are.
These are covenants are a a binding of of like a promissory like, hey, you do this and
I'll do this between two individuals.
And the ones we're exploring right now have been between God and humanity.
In the first case, it was between God and Adam being the prototype of all humans.
Then it was with God and Noah, Noah being the one who is going to represent Earth moving
forward.
And that's why the Adamic and then away covenant are linked because ones separated by the flood.
Yeah.
But then we're going to get into this Abrahamic covenant and it starts to get even we've talked
about how like they're really personal, but this one actually starts to get even more
personal.
Right.
Because instead of dealing with humanity, you're actually going and narrowing down and God's
actually dealing with one family.
Now if you remember from last year when you're in Torah, you're going to remember a lot of
these stories.
And I would highly recommend that before you check this out, maybe go back and listen to
a few of our Genesis episodes on Abraham, because we're going to be talking about the
covenant specifically and referencing things that we think you probably already know.
But those are season one and it's right towards the beginning of our episodes like episodes
like four through five or something like that.
Yeah.
But reminder, the initial origins of the covenant.
So there's in Genesis chapter 12, we're introduced to this guy named Avram.
His name is not Abraham yet.
It's just Avram.
And God calls him, he comes to him and he says, go to the place I'm going to show you.
And essentially it's like, go start walking and I'll tell you when to stop.
And if you go, I'm going to bless you so that all nations are going to be blessed through
you.
Like I'm going to do something in your family that's actually going to bless everybody.
This is the setup to this covenant that God is making with Avram.
And to Avram's credit, and I think one of the key things about his character is that
he trusts God and he goes.
Now Avram of course doesn't always trust God, but in this case he does trust God and he
goes.
And that's going to be really important as we kind of go through and talk about this
covenant.
Years pass and then in Genesis 15, Avram is getting a little surly.
Is that a good way to say it maybe?
Yeah.
God comes and he says, behold, I am your shield and your mighty, you know, mighty savior.
And Avram's like, really?
Because I don't have a kid.
You definitely said something about a kid.
Yep.
Right.
You definitely, by the way, this is the BLT Ben's Living Translation.
It's not to be confused with the bacon lettuce tomato, which is also a lovely sandwich, but
not a Bible translation.
He says, I don't have a kid and Eliezer of my household is actually going to be the one
who inherits everything I got.
And God says nothing, which by the way, if you go back to those episodes, you'll know
that there's a time that has passed where we talk about this Hebrew when God says, and
then God says, right?
So then Abraham says again, he's like, hey, I don't have anybody who's going to inherit
my stuff.
And God sets up, has Abraham set up this blood path covenant, which we talked about.
I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about it because we did talk about it in a
previous episode.
He sets up this blood path covenant and Avram as the lesser party should be the person who
goes and walks through the covenant.
But he doesn't because we know that he falls asleep and that he has to shoo away the wild
animals who are coming after the carcasses, which means they have been there for a while.
And then in the deep sleep, we see that God reaffirms his covenant with Abraham, Abraham
at this point.
And he says that he's going to be the father of many nations, that if you count the stars,
all the things that go with it.
And it says that Abraham believed God, it was credit to him as righteousness.
And then it says that a blazing fire and a smoking pot walked through the blood path
covenant.
Right?
And then it walked through the pieces of animal.
So what actually happens there, and we talked about, which is really important for our understanding
of theology and understanding of the character of God is that God actually walks both sides
of the covenant.
He walks through as the one who's being granted something and the one who is granting something.
And essentially what this means is that this covenant will not fail.
God is going to be the one to uphold both sides of it.
Well, and in this covenant also, it's not just Genesis 15.
Correct.
Like you hinted at it, it started back in Genesis 12 with the call.
It actually runs all the way through Genesis 17.
It actually has a test of faith in Genesis 22.
Correct.
So it's a covenant, understanding this covenant means you have to understand about 10 chapters
of scripture and the rest of the Bible.
But you really have to understand about these 10 chapters of scripture.
No, what Spencer just said is you only have to understand 10 chapters of the Bible to
understand covenants.
Nope, that is not what I said at all.
Not at all.
Ben is putting words in my mouth.
He's trying to make me say things that are not true.
So, but you need to understand that it's not just like, okay, we read it in these five,
six, seven verses, whatever.
Like it's a covenant that is happening over a long period of time.
Well, and I think you could even say that the entire book of Genesis is going to be
this covenant coming back over and over again.
Of course, yes, in the life of Abraham, but then when he, when then in the life of Isaac,
he comes and reaffirms, he's like, I am the God of your father, Abraham.
And then when he gets to Jacob, he says, I'm the father, the God of your father, Abraham
and Isaac.
Right.
And he reaffirms with each generation.
Then he comes, of course, then with Joseph, the guy of your father, Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob.
Right.
Yeah.
And then it's this, this family is understanding is getting ingrained in them that there is
a covenant between them and Yahweh, right?
Of course they don't know Yahweh's name yet, but we'll get that in Exodus.
Yeah.
And so one of the, one of the things about this covenant is that it's unconditional.
Correct.
Right.
From God, from who God is to us, it's an unconditional covenant.
It will be fulfilled.
Correct.
I think, I think if you were going to say there is a condition on the covenant, it says
when God says, go, you go, and as you go, he will bless you as you go.
Yes.
In other words, as you live into the word that he gives you, he's going to work through
you to bring all of creation back to himself.
Yes.
Right.
This is, this is by the way, is the call of the Jewish people from the very beginning.
Like they are meant to be in the crossroads of the earth.
God puts them in Israel, which is a really weird place to put a civilization.
Unless you realize that all the ancient roads go through Israel.
So if you're going to give a civilization that's supposed to transform everything, where
do you put them?
In the middle.
In the middle, which let's just take a pause there.
Then if we are followers of Christ and we bring this kingdom of God to places and we're
supposed to be interacting with people and changing them by bringing the kingdom of God
places, where do we go and stand?
In the middle of it.
I think often, and I don't want to, I want to really say this carefully because I think
there's, there's good reasons.
A lot of times we go to our churches for safety, security, to not be in the world or you say
we want a bunch of believers around us because it's too hard to work out in like these types
of things.
But our call is to actually go and be amongst the least of these, right?
To go and bring light to darkness, peace to chaos, love to hate.
Yeah.
And the Bible actually does not have very nice things to say for those who don't.
Correct.
In chapter 25, when Jesus is separating the sheep from the goats, he lays out the same
accusations for both sides.
One fulfilled them, one did not.
And all those had to do with being with the least of these.
Correct.
With the people who needed Jesus.
And when we neglect that, God's like, okay, that's cool, but I don't really know you.
Well, and I think, I think with that same idea, the reason that when you don't engage
in these types of activities, because they're the, yes, those activities themselves, those
are good things to do, feeding people, giving them something to drink, clothing them, visiting
them when they're sick or in jail.
Like those are all really good things.
But they're prototypes of Jesus is where people are that are broken.
Yeah.
Like that's where he is.
That's where God is at work is in broken people.
And he's looking at bringing them back.
If Jesus makes a statement, it says the doctor doesn't come for the healthy, he comes for
the sick.
So if you are carrying medicine, what are you doing hanging out with people who are
well?
Exactly.
And now, of course, I don't want to take that too far.
You a hundred percent fellowship of believers, having like your, your community, all those
things, but you exist to go and penetrate the darkness.
Yeah, absolutely.
And so we coming back, coming back to Genesis here, you talked about a little bit, but there
is a faith element to this covenant, right?
Absolutely.
Right.
Especially when you think about the sign of the covenant, which we'll get to in a minute.
But Genesis, so Genesis 15 six, which you read earlier, says Abram believed the Lord
and credited to him as righteousness.
Right.
So there is a faith element of Abram being like, okay, I believe what the Lord is saying
is true and he's going to fulfill this.
Right.
He doubt now, did Abram see that?
Not in his lifetime, not in his lifetime.
Isaac didn't even see that in his lifetime.
Jacob didn't see that in his lifetime, or Jacob started to, Joseph started to see it.
He saw more.
Yeah.
And so as each generation passed, they see more and more of this covenant fulfilled.
Right.
It's interesting too.
So you pointed out that says Abram believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.
So at this point, boom, like Abram believes God and God's like, cool, it's sealed.
Right.
Two chapters later, he's going to have him take on the sign of the covenant.
Right.
Which by the way is a circumcision if you're not familiar, which is not great.
Right.
We're not going to go into detail.
We're not going to go into detail on that, but suffice it to say that if a bunch of people
in their, well, I mean, Abram was like 90 something and he has to have it done.
Right.
It's not a great experience.
Right.
And it's also, I like with what we were talking about in Noah, it's a covenant they can't
lose because once you have done it, it's going to be really hard to cover that up.
Right.
Yep.
But this is really important because Paul is going to talk about this in Galatians and
it's really important to understand the argument that he's making in the book of Galatians.
Yeah.
He talks about how Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness and those who have faith
are children of Abraham.
Now children of Abraham being people who are grafted into this tree.
Right.
We've talked about it, I think maybe in the past, we talked about how in Galatians he's
addressing three groups of people.
He's talking to the the the Theosabes is like the God fearing Gentiles.
He's talking to the people who have have actually stepped into and chosen to be Jews and then
the people who are Jewish by birth.
Yeah.
Right.
And he says that if you have faith in Abraham, you are children of Abraham.
That's a really big statement to his Jewish audience.
Yes.
Right.
That it's not actually going to be circumcision.
It's not going to be observation of the law.
It's not going to be any of these different things, because prior to all of that, Abraham
believed.
Yeah.
And it was the belief that justified him.
Yep.
And that's super important because then he says, now, if then the blessing of Abraham
has now come to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, emphasizing faith.
And so then he has he says, you are not justified by the works of the law, these things that
make you Jewish.
Okay.
The works of the law, I might need to have a quick thing here.
Works of the law is not referring to the entire Torah.
It is referring to the things specifically that make you Jewish.
Having circumcision, not wearing blended fabrics, not cutting the ends of your field, the things
that are expected of the Jewish people specifically, not necessarily of the whole population.
But Paul says it is not these things.
It's not these things.
It's not the observation that makes you Jewish that justifies you.
But it's actually your faith in Jesus Christ that you are trusting in the faithfulness
of Jesus Christ to redeem you through your life.
It's that trust that actually makes you righteous in the moment.
And it just like that.
As soon as you trust Jesus, you place your identity on him, then you are carried with
his blood to the very throne room of God.
And that moment you're grafted into this covenant, which is which brings us to the purpose.
Well, like what's the purpose of this covenant?
Yeah.
Which comes down to the blessing of all nations.
Right.
You got to rewind back to Genesis 12 on that.
But where God talks about how he's going to bless all nations through the work of Abram.
Right.
And that through Abram's line came Jesus, right, the son of God, who came, died for
our sins so that we can put our faith in him and be grafted into this covenant to see this
covenant fulfilled.
Like that's one of the really cool things about this is it's not just for the Jewish
people.
Correct.
Right.
And that's what Paul is really getting that in Galatians is like this covenant is for
all nations coming back to Genesis 12.
And there's a lot of really like Paul is addressing some things that are really questionable that
are happening in Galatia.
So we're not going to get into that in this episode.
Sometimes we'll do it like a whole other series.
Yeah, we'll do we'll do an episode on a couple of episodes on Galatians and talk about that.
I think it's you know, this whole thing about justification through faith.
So we just came through James.
So in Romans four, Paul's going to make the same argument from a different perspective
as he's talking to people in Rome, right, not Galatia.
And he's like Abraham's justified by his faith, not by his works.
And he's setting a precedent for all the believers moving forward.
Now, if you remember back in the Protestant Reformation, that is one of the driving points
for Martin Luther's thesis.
Right.
Now, however you feel about Martin Luther, Martin Luther was correct about one thing
is that your your justification, your salvation, your redemption is not done by anything you
do except to place your trust in the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.
But there is an obligation when you're part of that covenant to go and bless and as you're
blessed, bless other people.
Yes.
Right.
To actually transform the world by bringing in the kingdom everywhere.
So the work is a result of the change.
The work doesn't create the change.
Yeah.
And there's something to be said to that.
Don't be discouraged if you don't see drastic change.
Right.
So like Abraham, he didn't see drastic change.
Isaac didn't see drastic change.
Jacob a little bit more, Joseph more.
And then as this covenant became more and more fulfilled, there was more drastic changes
that were happening.
Right.
Sometimes when we're following Jesus, there's moments where we're big, drastic change is
going to happen.
You'll see hundreds of people come to follow Jesus right away.
Other times, it's years of conversations with two or three people before they're like, you
know what?
I think there's something to this.
Right.
So it's one of those things where we can read about covenants like this, be like the whole
world is going to be blessed and we can get in our heads thinking that like, okay, when
I step into this, then all of a sudden I'm going to have those Billy Graham moments where
like I'm evangelizing to millions of people.
And really nobody talks about the person who led Billy Graham to the Lord.
Right?
Yeah.
I mean, like there's so many different things or the parents who gave Billy Graham the ability
to grow up and be able to attend something where he engaged the Lord.
Yeah.
So like, but the point being is like, what is the Lord, when you step into this covenant,
what does the Lord put in front of you?
Right.
And how are you living in faith?
Right.
And I think to redirect what you're saying in just a different avenue is I think sometimes
we think, okay, this call means that I need to go do great things.
It's like, no, it's not the things you do.
It's the quality of the person doing them.
Yes.
Right.
Like we, I was talking, we were talking about this in our small group and I said, you know,
we are always like, oh, you know, I should preach or do this or teach and go to a mission.
All those things are great.
I was like, but if you're doing activity to be valuable, then you're missing what we actually
want to see, which is we want to see hearts that look like Jesus, that everything you
do is like Jesus is doing it.
Well, I think we need to redefine a couple of things here.
Yeah, let's do it.
So, so one is, yeah, the heart posture coming back to that.
Like when you lean into this covenant, you are entering into relationship with God.
Yeah.
You're entering into a covenant relationship with God to where you and him are the most
important thing.
Yep.
Right.
Everything else is second.
So if you're trying to do things, if you're trying to do the works of the Lord apart from
the Lord, you're missing, you're like, there is a fundamentally a huge piece that you're
missing and that is God.
Right.
Let him, let him work that in you.
And what you're going to find is as you lean into your relationship with God, you're naturally
going to do the works of the Lord.
Yeah.
Those are going to become more natural inclinations.
Now the second thing I think we need to redefine is like, what is great works?
Right?
Because oftentimes we quantify great works by quantity.
Yeah.
How many people are attending?
How many people are doing this?
How many are doing that?
And in reality, most of the conferences I've gone to, I can't tell you what the person
talked about, but I can tell you the great conversations I've had with people around
a table at a coffee shop with that one person who said, Hey, you know what?
I'm going to spend time with Spencer because the Lord's putting him on my heart.
I can tell you the times I've, I've had great conversations with other people because the
Lord said, Hey, I want you to reach out to them, spend some time with them, talk Jesus
with them.
Right?
Great things does not mean quantity.
Right.
And, and the whole thing is like your work that you're called to do.
If you actually believe that God is your master, like you invite him to do in your life to
be sovereign, right?
Then whatever he calls you to do is the great work.
Yeah.
Like if that's scrubbing toilets, it's scrubbing toilets.
That's the great work.
Exactly.
Right?
Like it is all like, we're not the King.
So the King gets to tell us what the great work is, but we are all a family working together
to build the kingdom.
Right.
And put, bring his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Right.
And I was, I, I, I love the way that you said that because, um, there's this temptation,
I think in Christendom to try to earn what God has freely given and it's, it's, it's
gotta be frustrating.
Can you imagine with your, with your spouse, right?
If like you were constantly like, Oh, I've got to, I've got to do more for her.
So she realizes that she didn't make a mistake with me.
Right.
Like to really earn this affection that she's given me freely.
Do you know how frustrating that would be as, as like the receiving party?
Like you're like, no, no, we, I chose you.
We're together.
Now let's go forward and do life together.
So you don't have to, you don't have to earn my love.
So this, this I think relates to what we're talking about here.
One of the things that drives me up a wall when people talk marriage is you're like,
Oh, it's a 50 50 commitment.
I was like, no, that's a divorce.
Yeah.
Like that's a divorce.
Like marriage is a 100, 100 commitment.
Like you're each giving a hundred percent to this.
Yeah.
And like, I mean, I can speak for my spouse.
I've ticked my spouse off before.
I'm sure I've heard from her.
Yeah.
I'm sure you've ticked your spouse off before.
Never, never.
These are also pretty close.
I'm pretty sure I've ticked your spouse off before too.
So you know, but a marriage relationship, a covenant relationship is not you coming in
being like, all right, here's the 50%.
I'm going to contribute to this, right?
It's not a business deal where you're like, Hey, I own 35% of this company.
And so here's, here's my commitment and responsibility to the company.
That's not how it works.
This is a 100% you're all in or you're not in at all.
Talked about from a different perspective, because I think Brene Brown did a really good
job of this, this particular one.
If you imagine that there's an activity as a couple that you have to accomplish it, it
takes 100 energy units and I come and I have 30 and my wife brings 70.
We both brought a hundred of what we have.
Right.
And other times she might have 20 and I have 80.
Yeah.
Right.
And so like, I don't want you to think like, uh, like sometimes with the numbers we can
kind of get confused here.
It's like, you're not giving 200% to everything.
It means that you're completely committed with everything that you can commit.
I'm good.
I think those cookies made you sneeze.
I might leave that in just so you know.
But uh, anyway, so this idea is that we, we bring whatever we can, but there are seasons
where like, if you are, if you're working 60 hours a week and, and then you're also
like doing X, Y, and Z, you may only have 20 energy and your house, your spouse is picking
you up on the other side.
That's partnership.
That's a hundred percent of both of you committing to each other.
Yeah.
Right.
Um, and, and I, the only reason I wanted to caveat that is cause I think somebody can
hear that and be like, they're like, well, what about when I'm tired?
And I was like, yeah, you're going to be tired.
You're going to be tired.
And that's what being a partnership is about.
And so like this, this idea of coming back to God is that God is saying like, Hey, come
be here 100% like justification, salvation, redemption, all handled through the person
of Jesus Christ.
You trust on that.
We're good.
Now let's go live life together.
Right.
I want to read you because we just came out of James in chapter two.
He makes a statement.
He says, what's not our father?
Uh, James two, um, was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when
he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
That's your test of faith.
You see that his faith and his actions were working together and his faith was made complete
by what he did.
And the scripture was fulfilled.
That says Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness and he was
called God's friend.
Was it the action that made Abraham's faith?
Um, possible or let me rephrase that.
Was it his, the action that actually justified Abraham?
No, it was his faith, his faith justified.
And then it became real when he put it into action.
And you have to be really careful not to mix those up.
Yeah.
It sounds like a nuance and it's not.
I just want to read this from the book of Hebrews.
So you guys kind of know what, what is going on in the rest of scripture.
In chapter 11, we're talking about the hall of faith.
It says by faith, Abraham, when called to go to a place, he would later receive as his
inheritance obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going by faith.
He made his home in the promised land, like a stranger in a foreign country.
He lived in tents as did Isaac and Jacob who were heirs with him of the same promise for
he was looking forward to the city with foundations whose architect and builder is God.
By faith, even Sarah who was past childbearing age was enabled to bear children because she
considered him faithful who had made the promise.
And so from this one man and he as good as dead came to sentence as numerous as the stars
in the sky and as countless as the sands on the seashore.
Yeah.
Right.
Like that's, that's a big deal.
Right.
Uh, one of the things with this covenant that I think you have to take into consideration
too is the location and scripture where it's put.
Right.
So Genesis 12 through 22 is kind of like the main passages where you're going to find elements
of this covenant.
Uh, but what, what happens right before then you have Genesis 11, you have the tower of
Babel and Genesis six, you have Noah's Noah, uh, Genesis six through nine.
You have a story at Noah and the flood, right?
Um, Genesis three, you have the fall of mankind.
So you have three different stories where you have mankind wanting to be like God.
Yeah.
Right.
Uh, Adam and Eve being like, we're going to be like God in the same knowledge and understanding
Noah, uh, the flood happening because mankind was so evil and every intention that they're
like, they're still striving to be their own gods.
Right.
Um, uh, Babel and 11, same thing.
We're going to be like God, right?
We're going to raise our all the way up to the heavens.
So you contrast like this human desire with what is God's desire in this covenant, right?
His desire is to be with us.
So there's a huge difference.
Like a lot of times in culturally in America, a lot of times we want to be like something.
We have role models.
We have aspirations.
We want to be this.
We want to be that.
We want to do this.
Meanwhile, God's saying, I just want to be with you.
It's interesting when you, when you consider Genesis one through 11, we talked about this
and we linked the Baymah podcast episode, but where they talk about that a Genesis one
through 11 is actually a large chiasm.
And at the center of the chiasm, uh, if you've talked to them past, uh, mirroring texts,
it comes to a central point at the center.
Another chiasm between one and 11 is, is, is a name and it's the name Noah, which his
name means he rests.
Then it's interesting to me that immediately he goes and tells a story about right after
this, as this chiasm talking about how all of creation is about resting in God, right?
About finding your identity in God.
He finally finds somebody he just says to go and he goes and he says, this is going
to happen.
And he believes him and it's credited to him as righteousness.
Like we're seeing a person who learns how to rest on the word of God and trust, not
perfectly because Abraham was far from perfect.
Um, there's lots of stories.
Go check out season one.
There's lots of stories that we have where he messed up plenty, but he was a person who
learned how to trust the story.
Yeah.
And so the point point being of this covenant is this is God coming back, coming as God
coming back to a similar creation story where he's saying, no, I want to be with you.
We're creating this new, right?
So if you're listening and you're thinking like, man, like this covenant sounds big,
it sounds like it's a lot of responsibility.
I mean, no, the responsibilities on God, your responsibility in this covenant is to be with
God.
Yeah.
That's your responsibility.
One of the, one of the reasons I've, we've talked about in the, and many people have
talked about, so it's not new is that, um, understanding that Jesus was a Jewish Messiah,
right?
Um, if you actually read in the book of Matthew, um, I want to point out right in the genealogy
right at the beginning, they named him as the son of two people.
It says Jesus, the son of Abraham, right?
And the son of David, right?
Um, and of course he's the son of Joseph too, but, um, it's also as a son of Abraham.
So like Matthew being written to a Jewish audience, he's telling them exactly who Jesus
is coming and what covenants he's stepping into.
Yeah.
They know exactly when they say son of Abraham, okay, he's walking into Abraham and covenant.
The son of David.
Yep.
He's walking in the Davidic promise, right?
And we have, or we're not there yet.
We'll get there.
Uh, but Jesus comes and he actually embodies these.
And then, so when Paul actually goes back here, he's like, now cast your identity onto
Jesus and his faithfulness and trust in the, and trust rest, find your worth in the completed
work of Jesus Christ and go and live out these promises that are meant to bless the entire
world and bring to the kingdom of God crashing down.
Yep.
That's all I got.
It's all I got.
