A covenant in the Bible is the deepest truth or promise provided. It's impossible for God to break it.... and it has nothing to do with you. It has to do with him making the promise and the fact that God can't lie. If he lies, he dies and so do we.
Here it is:
Gen. 12:2
I will make you you into a great nation, and I will bless you.
I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse. And all people on earth will be blessed through you.
Later... Abraham lies and says Sarah is his sister. Despite this, he continues going to God and is blessed. It's an obligation God has to fulfill because of his own words.
Gen. 13:2 Abraham had become very wealthy in livestock, silver, and gold.
Do you understand that abundance belongs to the children of God yet?
Replace Abraham with Jesus. Of course Jesus was also rich. A caravan of camels sent by 3 kings of gold was given to him! God made this promise to Abraham and God doesn't change! Now do you understand why king Herod was so mad about another king being born and set to overthrow him?
How does the Abrahamic covenant apply to you?

“And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the gentile through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. ( Abraham isnt the father of one nation but many nations all nations actually )
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. ….that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; ( Jesus ) and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. ( father son holy ghost )
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:8-9, 14, 16, 19-20, 23-29 KJV
when someone gets baptized in Jesus name they are taking on his identity as the child of God and the promised seed of Abraham
if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
the gospel is about the promises made to Abraham father of many nations the new name God gave him when he promised isaacs birth not Abram father of Israel only but of many nations
“And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.”
Genesis 17:3-7 KJV
that’s prophetic about Christian’s of all nations born in Christ the seed of Abraham through the gospel he sent to all nations concerning Jesus the seed of Abraham and hier of creation
“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ,
the son of David,
the son of Abraham.”
Matthew 1:1 KJV
It’s no longer about who our parents are what our race is or gender it’s about faith in Christ now by hearing his gospel
“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
