DAY FIFTEEN— The Covenant Confirmed

At Mount Sinai, God invited Israel into something extraordinary: a covenant relationship sealed by sacrifice and blood. The people heard God’s words, and with one voice they responded, “Everything the Lord has said we will do.” Moses built an altar, offered sacrifices, and sprinkled the blood as a sign of the covenant between God and His people.

What followed is one of the most breathtaking moments in Scripture: Moses, Aaron, the elders, and others went up the mountain and saw God. Scripture tells us they beheld His glory. The holy God of the universe welcomed them into fellowship.

Just as Israel’s covenant was sealed in blood, our covenant with God is sealed by the blood of Christ. Through Him, we are invited not only to behold God’s glory but to commune with Him—sharing in fellowship at His table. God calls us into relationship. He desires a people who will walk with Him, worship Him, and live in His presence.
