1.  Contrast the biblical account of sin and the fall with Secularism’s view.

Sin is defined as something evil in the Bible, and it can range from sexual sin and temptations to the tiniest things like lying. However, the Bible teaches that repentance can save us from our sins. It was a huge transformation when sin first entered the world. Everything and everyone was flawless, just as God intended. The fall, however, began with the devil's temptation. The fall is the most significant change in human history. The fall introduced every kind of sin into the earth. This began with the serpent tempting Adam and Eve in the garden. As time passed, sin became increasingly worse, and here we are today. Today's sin is simply disregarded, and people don't take it seriously enough. People simply go about their daily routines without giving much thought to what they are doing. As a result, sin has become more acceptable in today's culture. Sin is similar to a skill. Once you start doing it, it becomes simpler and easier, and you don't even realize you're doing it, but you are. For example, once you begin lying, it becomes easier for you to do so, and you may quickly create a lie to rescue yourself in a scenario,and here we are today, for better or worse.

2.  What is a covenant in the biblical context?

 In today's terms a covenant is an agreement between two people. That could be an agreement in marriage or an agreement between two companies. But in Bible terms a covenant is a promise between a person and God. God promises something to said person and that person has to trust God through all things in this covenant weather that is good or bad. For example, one of the many covenants in the Bible is the covenant between God and Abraham. The covenant is a promise that God made with Abraham. According to the covenant, God would offer protection and land to Abraham and his descendants, but they must follow the path of God. God then commanded Abraham and his future generations to perform the ritual of circumcision as a symbol of the covenant. Covenants between God and his people are different in every situation. Abraham was faithful to God and kept doing what God was asking him to do and God kept his promise to Abraham and fulfilled his promise to him. God might ask you to do something and ask another to do something completely opposite of what he is asking you to do. But a covenant is a promise between God and a person.

3.  Summarize the Creation, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants.

The creation is the 7 days that God made the earth. On the first day light was created. On the second day the sky was created. The third dry land sea plants and trees were created. The fourth is the sun, moon and stars. The 5th animals that lived in the sky and sea, the 6th animals that land were made and on the 7th light was created. In Abraham’s covenant God promised him that if he performed a ritual of circumcision with his future generations that God would have protected him and his belongings for ever. The Davidic is where God promises David and his descendants that God would secure the promises of land descendants and blessings. This covenant becomes the basis for hope of a Messiah and makes sense of the Gospels’ concern to show Jesus was the rightful King of the Jews.

4.  How is Christ the ultimate fulfillment of each of the covenants mentioned in the chapter?

Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of all because he was the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus came to save us all from our sins, not only our future sins but the ones in the past. Jesus was the most perfect thing this world has ever seen. He was tempted many times by the devil to knock him off his path but he stayed planted in the word and resisted the devil. He fulfills the covenants by showing us what God can really do. Jesus could have given up many many times while he was carrying the cross but he didn’t because of how much he loves us. Even when he was up there on the cross he wanted God to forgive the people crucifying him for they did not know what they were doing. Jesus showed us how a Christian should live. He loved the perfect life he was sent here to do what God asked him to do and was faithful to him every step of the way he could have given up many many times but he didn’t. He showed us how to completely put our lives in Gods hands and let him take complete control. He is the ultimate fulfillment to all covenants because he was the ultimate sacrifice.
