In Judges 2:1, God makes one of the most beautiful statements in the Bible: “I will never break My covenant with you.” That’s a powerful promise. God assures us that He will never break the covenant He established. He will always fulfil His part in the covenant, regardless of the circumstances.

The covenant has two parts

However, it is essential to remember that every covenant involves two parts. God does His part, but we also have responsibilities. If we want to live the benefits of this covenant, we need to fulfil our side of the commitment.

Unfortunately, many relate to God as if it were a one-way street. They expect to receive and complain when they are not attended to. But they forget that a relationship with God is not one-sided. God does not just solve problems; He wants a real, living, and active covenant with us.

A new and eternal covenant

When Jesus was here, He brought an even more powerful covenant than the Old Testament. He declared at the Lord’s Supper: “For this is My blood of the new covenant” (Matthew 26:27-28). He didn’t offer the blood of an animal but His own. He gave Himself entirely, sealing a definitive covenant.

This covenant reveals God’s desire to be united with us. However, spiritually speaking, we must also be willing to make this commitment at the altar.

The groom who waits at the altar thinks about the wedding. The groom arrives first at the altar and waits for the bride. The ceremony only takes place when both are there to exchange their vows. But what if the bride doesn’t show up? There is no wedding.

That’s how it happens with God. Every day, He waits for us at the altar. He has already proven His love and done His part, but many simply don’t show up. God continues to be left on the altar while waiting for someone willing to make a covenant with Him.

No commitment; no covenant

If there is no covenant, there is no commitment, and without commitment, there are no obligations. Many people think they are with God, but in practice, they only seek Him in moments of despair. They live as spiritual singles, and being single in the spiritual world is dangerous because it means being vulnerable.

In marriage, the single person becomes someone connected to another. There is a change in life, attitudes and priorities. In the same way, those who unite with God need to stop living as someone “loose” spiritually. It is necessary to live in a committed way, connected to Him.

God is not a “name on your contact list”

Many treat God as a “name on their contact list”: someone they only look for when they are needy, sad or in trouble. But God doesn’t want this kind of relationship. He wants a true, deep and lasting covenant.

Living without commitment is risky in the physical world, but even more dangerous in the spiritual world. The Bible says, “Your Maker is your husband” (Isaiah 54:5). Anyone who does not have this covenant with Him is exposed and spiritually unprotected.

God is waiting for you

God promised: “I will never break My covenant with you.” He doesn’t fail. He’s at the altar, waiting. But what about you? Have you ever signed a covenant with God? Are you living as someone committed or as a spiritually single person who seeks God only as a “name on your contact list”? Evaluate your relationship and answer yourself: Have you been doing your part in this covenant?
