Keyword: Covenant
Expression:

"As the covenant established in Genesis develops throughout the rest of the Bible, its stages were marked by covenants, or phases of the covenant. God revealed his holiness and character through the law at Mount Sinai as the nation of Israel became God’s elect people. God revealed his kingship through the Davidic covenant as David’s line became God’s elect rulers. Finally, God revealed his salvation through Christ as election became soteriological in nature. These are all results of what was begun in Genesis."
