What other church better follows the Biblical model of emphasizing the bilateral covenant nature of the Gospel?
It is difficult to read the Old Testament or New Testament without seeing a heavy emphasis on sacred covenants between God and man. Covenants are the tool for bringing man to God and rescuing fallen from sin through the Atonement of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Covenants are the instrument for bringing man to the grace of Christ. But very few mainstream Christian religions resonate with the covenant language of the scriptures. In other words, where else do you find a people who view their relationship with God through a two-way covenant perspective, in which they regularly make covenants with God and are taught the important of making and keeping divine covenants? This approach, which resonates so well with the ancient Biblical perspective, is clearly found with the restored Gospel in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For details on why I make this claim, please see my new page, “Latter-day Saints and the Covenant Framework of the Gospel: An Ancient Perspective Restored.”
