New and everlasting covenant scripture

The New and Everlasting Covenant is a central doctrine in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), also known as Mormonism. Here are some key scriptures that relate to this doctrine:

  1. 2 Nephi 29:21-23 - "And now, I, Nephi, testify unto you that I have spoken the words of the Lord, which he hath commanded me to speak. And I have spoken them unto you, O ye people of the house of Israel, not because of your diligence, but because of the Lord's great mercy. And now, I, Nephi, testify unto you that this is the New and Everlasting Covenant of the Lord, wherefore it is of the greatest importance that ye should understand the same."

  2. Doctrine and Covenants 132:4-6 - "And verily I say unto you, that the conditions of this law are these: first, all covenants, contracts, and charter between any two persons, or any one person and the church, shall be held sacred and inviolable. Second, all covenants, contracts, and charters, that are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, shall be of the full force and effect of an everlasting covenant; and they shall not be altered, varied, or broken, except by the consent of the parties concerned, or by the consent of the church, or by the consent of the Holy Spirit of promise, which is the greatest of all."

  3. Doctrine and Covenants 132:7-9 - "And verily I say unto you, that the New and Everlasting Covenant, even that which was ordained before the foundation of the world, is the fulness of the gospel; and when all covenants and contracts, which were made between us and our fathers, shall be remembered and the Everlasting Covenant remembered, then all things shall work together for your good. And the Lord shall be red in the eyes of his saints, and shall be as a fire and a hammer to the wicked."

  4. Doctrine and Covenants 131:1-3 - "Verily, thus saith the Lord, that the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness. That they may be conferred upon him only, and upon the children of men during the multi-tudes of the earth, or in other words, the children of men that dwell upon the face of the earth. And this shall be the means of the New and Everlasting Covenant of peace, and of the everlasting gospel."

  5. Doctrine and Covenants 138:11-12 - "And now, verily, I say unto you, that the conditions of this law are these: first, all covenants, contracts, and charters, that are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, shall be of the full force and effect of an everlasting covenant; and they shall not be altered, varied, or broken, except by the consent of the parties concerned, or by the consent of the church, or by the consent of the Holy Spirit of promise, which is the greatest of all."

These scriptures emphasize the importance of the New and Everlasting Covenant, which is seen as a central part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They also highlight the importance of covenants, contracts, and charters, and the role of the Holy Spirit of promise in sealing and confirming these covenants.
