What is the Covenant Tracker?
Covenants are the structural backbone of scripture. From the very first chapters of Genesis to the closing revelations of the New Testament, the relationship between God and His people is defined by covenants -- sacred agreements in which God promises blessings in exchange for faithfulness to specific obligations. The Covenant Tracker organizes every major covenant in the Bible into a single, searchable interface that shows how each covenant connects to the others.
Each covenant in the tracker includes its promises (what God pledges to do), its obligations (what He asks of His people), its signs (the visible tokens or rituals that mark the covenant), its fulfillment (how the covenant has been or will be completed), and its modern application for Christians today. This structured format lets you compare covenants side by side and trace how themes like land, posterity, grace, and redemption develop across the sweep of biblical history.
The Covenant Tracker organizes covenants by historical era -- from the Patriarchal Age through the New Testament era -- and by category: ordinance covenants with specific rituals and obligations, prophetic covenants delivered through revelation, national covenants made with Israel as a people, and universal covenants that apply to all humanity. This dual organization lets you study covenants from either a historical or a thematic perspective.
For Christians, the covenant framework is central to understanding the biblical faith. Every act of worship, every baptismal promise, and every communion celebration connects back to the covenants God established in ancient scripture. The Covenant Tracker makes these connections explicit, showing how the baptismal covenant relates to the Abrahamic covenant, how the sacrificial system and worship patterns established at Sinai prefigured Christ's perfect sacrifice, and how the new covenant in Christ fulfills and encompasses all previous covenants.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the covenants in the Old Testament?
The Old Testament contains several major covenants: God's covenant with Adam after the Fall, the covenant with Noah signified by the rainbow, the Abrahamic covenant promising posterity, land, and blessing, the Mosaic covenant at Sinai establishing the law, the Davidic covenant promising an eternal throne, and Jeremiah's prophecy of a new covenant. The Covenant Tracker catalogs all of these with their promises, obligations, signs, and fulfillment.
What is the Abrahamic covenant?
The Abrahamic covenant is God's promise to Abraham recorded in Genesis 12, 15, and 17. God promised Abraham three things: innumerable posterity, a promised land (Canaan), and that through his seed all families of the earth would be blessed. Christians believe this covenant finds fulfillment in Christ and that believers become heirs to its promises through faith in Christ (Galatians 3:29).
What is the sequence of covenants in the Bible?
The Bible presents a progressive series of covenants that God makes with His people, beginning with Adam, continuing through Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, and culminating in the new covenant in Christ. Each covenant builds upon the previous ones, and each carries promises, obligations, and signs. The Covenant Tracker shows these connections explicitly, linking each covenant to its scriptural foundations.
How do Old Testament covenants relate to the New Testament?
The New Testament teaches that Jesus Christ fulfilled the Mosaic covenant through His Atonement and established a new covenant in His blood (Luke 22:20). The book of Hebrews explains this relationship in detail, showing Christ as the mediator of a better covenant. The Abrahamic covenant continues through faith in Christ. The Covenant Tracker traces these connections, showing how each Old Testament covenant points toward and is fulfilled in Christ.
What is the new covenant?
The new covenant is prophesied in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and fulfilled in the blood of Jesus Christ (Luke 22:20, Hebrews 8:8-13). Unlike the Mosaic covenant written on stone tablets, the new covenant is written on believers' hearts by the Holy Spirit. The book of Hebrews explains that Christ is the mediator of this better covenant, which offers forgiveness of sins and direct knowledge of God. The Covenant Tracker traces how this new covenant connects to and fulfills every prior covenant in scripture.
