A Father's Covenant

What is a covenant? ""In law terms, it's 'a legal document in which a person states who should receive his or her possessions after he or she dies'"" (Merriam-Webster). Before the covenant can be executed, there must first be proof that the person who writes the testament has deceased. If there isn't proof of the persons' death, then by no means possible can the testament be executed by those entitled to inherit the will and/or by anyone else. Under today's standards, this rule still applies, and we find this to be true even in the Holy Scriptures. In the New Testament, the apostle Paul and the author of the book of Hebrews wrote in detail the significance of a testament and how to have it executed (Gal 3:15---18; Heb 9:16---18). In A Father's Covenant, William Vargas gives us scriptural verses and details showing why he believes that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, died in God's place. He acknowledges that for some, this is impossible, but he also acknowledges that for God, nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37). After all, it was God who made a covenant with Abraham, not Jesus. The fact that a covenant can only be executed by the death of the one who writes it (God, in this case), it should have been God dying on the cross for humanity, and not His Son, Jesus Christ. It is from this point that the author makes his argument and shows that indeed, Jesus is God.
