In the New Covenant, what is described as God's Promise?

• A. The Great Commandment
• B. Baptism
• C. Eternal Life
• D. Jesus' death on the Cross

Answer: (C)

The New Covenant centers on God offering eternal life to all who trust in Jesus. This promise isn’t just a rule to follow or a ritual to perform; it’s the gift of a restored relationship with God that begins now by faith and is fulfilled in the eternal presence with Him. Jesus’ death on the Cross is the means that makes forgiveness and reconciliation possible, and the Spirit enables believers to live in that relationship, but the ultimate Promise described is eternal life—knowing God and dwelling with Him forever. The other items point to important parts of the faith—the Great Commandment as a guiding ethic, Baptism as an entry rite, and the Cross as the saving work—but the described Promise in the New Covenant is eternal life.
