Question 6

5 / 5 pts

In one paragraph (75–150 words), answer the question: “What is the Abrahamic covenant?”

Your Answer:

The promises that God made with the children of Israel. That was first promised to Abraham and his seeds and then passed down to all those who keeps the commandments and serve the Lord. As members of his gospel we have that same duty that was given to Abraham and his seeds to bless the world with his gospel. To extend missionary work to everyone so that they all can receive his blessings and exaltations.

 

Question 7

5 / 5 pts

In one paragraph (75–150 words), answer the question: "How does an understanding of the Abrahamic covenant relate to my understanding and appreciation of Heavenly Father’s plan and Jesus Christ and His everlasting gospel?"

Your Answer:

Without the Atonement of Jesus Christ, the Abraham covenant would not be fulfilled. The promises that were between Heavenly Father and Abraham would only work once the atonement was done. If it wasn't for our Savior's sacrifice, the promise for us to gather everyone and return back to our Heavenly Father would never happen. The meaning of life would cease to exist and life would be pretty sad. I am so grateful that our Heavenly  planned this out in the beginning. I am grateful that he loves us so much to make this covenant with us.

 

Question 8

5 / 5 pts

In one paragraph (75–150 words), answer the question: "What are the obligations and blessings of the Abrahamic covenant?"

Your Answer:

The obligations of the Abrahamic Covenant is to  spread the gospel to all the world. To obey God's commandments and bless the world with the priesthood. The blessings we receive from fulfilling these duties is the blessing to carry this one for thousands of generations until the final days. That in those last days we will be able to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man through the atonement of Jesus Christ. "Through his covenant with Abraham, the Lord has promised to bless all the faithful with truth, priesthood ordinances, exaltation, and eternal increase."(Wilcox)

 

Question 9

5 / 5 pts

In one paragraph (75–150 words), answer the question: "Why would God make this covenant at this time of the earth’s history and with this individual (Abraham)?"

Your Answer:

I believe it was because Abraham was very faithful to God. That when Abraham was asked by God to sacrifice his son Isaac, he faithfully brought his son upon an alter to offer him up. I feel like this was a defining moment between the relationship God had with Abraham. That now Abraham understand how it feels to sacrifice his only son and how soon God will send his only begotten son to be sacrifice for all of us. 

 

Question 10

5 / 5 pts

In one paragraph (75–150 words), describe a fundamental principle a person should understand in order to have an accurate understanding of the Abrahamic covenant as related to the Savior and His everlasting gospel ("The Abrahamic Covenant," Wilcox).

Your Answer:

A principle a person needs to understand in order to have an accurate understanding of the Abrahamic Covenant as related to the Savior and his everlasting gospel, is know that the Abraham covenant was preordained before Abraham. That the Lord planned for all his children to return to him and why Jesus Christ is the center of that plan. Jesus Christ's atonement made it possible for all sins to be forgiven so that we can continue our covenants with the Lord. His gospel is everlasting because we have more brothers and sisters that have not received the same blessings as us (God's covenant people).
