Uh, no. A covenant is a covenant is a covenant is a covenant. By definition, it is an agreement between two parties. It’ a two-way street.

One of the cases where the English translation misses the meaning. The Greek word διαθηκη (diatheke)that is translated as "covenant" ... is an expression of the fact that the covenant of God does not have the character of a contract between two parties, but rather that of a one-sided grant.
