Scripture are established by God. They’re His covenants. There is a fancy theological term for that called transcendence. Transcendence simply means that covenants are both initiated and ruled by God. God, and not man, is sovereign over what the covenant is and how it should operate. That may seem like an obvious statement to make, but it is a critical piece of the covenant. In order for a covenant to function with the benefits and blessings tied to it, it has to run according to God’s transcendence.
