My definition did not come from myself, but from the Bible.
What rancher clothes his goats to cover their shame? What rancher makes a covenant to save his goats from their sins as God did Adam and Eve in the garden?
Luk 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Before the Law God made a covenant with Noah
Gen 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
God promised to pour out the rain on the just and unjust right here, and he has remained true to his promise. The world turns on the promise of God.
