Parent Corner –
Here’s a wonderful truth we need to understand: God desires a covenant relationship with us. A covenant is like a contract, but deeper.

We’re more familiar with contracts; we’ve signed plenty of them. While a contract brings you into a formal relationship with the lender, its purpose is not to build a relationship. Instead, its purpose is to ensure that both parties fulfill specific requirements. A covenant is different. While it is a formal agreement between two parties, its primary purpose is the bind the parties together in a relationship.

It is important that your kids grasp the realization that God’s Word is His covenant to them personally. Have your children say, “The Bible is God’s Word speaking to me.” If we do our part, believe the Word and then act as thought it is true, God does His part by making His Word come to pass in our lives. Faith is acting or living our lives based on the promises of God. When your kids face circumstances in life that are contrary to God’s Word, teach them to find out what God says about that situation. Then teach them to say the same thing that God says about that situation in His Word. We always want to agree with God- this is faith. For example, if fear tries to scare kids in their thoughts, teach them to believe and say what God says about it: You can teach the kids that fear has to go because it is not from God. Unless people “act” on the promise or covenant by speaking and living right, it sometimes has no effect. The same is true with a contract in the real world. The terms just don’t automatically happen. Both parties must put into action the words on the paper. Faith is acting on what God says.
