DISPENSATIONS AND COVENANTS
DISPENSATION: To dispense or administer an economy, administration or house rule. A particular program or set of operating instructions that GOD dispenses for man's obedience during a time period. A dispensation is not the time period, however covers a period of time. The issue is the policy, program, or instructions, not time. Remember time is an interval of space GOD sets to implement his will and purpose.
COVENANT: A pledge, alliance, contract or agreement between two or more parties. There are 2 types of covenants between GOD and man.
1. Unilateral or unconditional meaning all obligations are the responsibility of GOD, no responsibility placed upon mankind to effectuate the covenant.
2. Bilateral or conditional meaning mankind is required to do certain things in order to effectuate the covenant.
