Episode 147 - Still Chosen: Did God Make an Unconditional Covenant With Abraham?

The question of Israel’s chosenness isn’t abstract - it’s foundational. 

If God’s covenant with Abraham is conditional, then Israel’s future and even our own assurance in Christ are uncertain. But if it’s unconditional, then God’s faithfulness to Abraham secures hope for us all.

In this episode, Ron and Matt Davis trace the Abrahamic covenant from Genesis 12, 15, and 17. They unpack the ancient covenant-cutting ceremony, the unconditional nature of God’s promise, and how the Mosaic covenant fits alongside it. 

They also show how the New Testament reaffirms - not erases - God’s oath to Abraham, and why that matters for both Jews and Gentiles today.

With analogies of trust funds and house rules, they bring clarity to common misunderstandings. God’s covenant stands not because of human performance but because of His promise. And that means His faithfulness to Israel is the same faithfulness we depend on in Jesus.
