"And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you" (Judges 2:1-3).
God's covenant has two parts: God's part and man's part. God makes the rules for the covenant and man's part is obedience. When man breaks God's covenant he suffers the consequences.
Salvation has two parts: God's part and man's part. Man's part is to obey Jesus to obtain eternal salvation (Heb. 5:8-9).
