By what means can I break this covenant? I'd like to have a more specific answer than the one given in the text. Is there another text which describes this? Here are a few more texts. Compare and contrast them to see what the conditions are for life and death. Broken covenant = death. Excellent, and yet so simple. The good Lord does not require a Ph.D. in soteriology (=the doctrine of how we are saved) for us to understand this. That covenant is the covenant of life, eternal life. It is the power line that connects us with God, the only source of immortality. When that is broken there is no power, and the result is death. You will recall that the ark of the covenant was in the most holy. What was in the ark?
"Here is a last piece of advice. If you believe in goodness and if you value the approval of God, fix your minds on the things which are holy and right and pure and beautiful and good. Model your conduct on what you have learned from me, on what I have told you and shown you, and you will find the God of peace will be with you."

So perfect performance in avoiding sin is the key? No. The key is dying to self and being born of God. With that key you will unlock the storehouse which contains the treasure of avoiding sin. (See 1Jn 3:9 and 5:18) That same storehouse contains the gift of everlasting life. As for perfect performance, I don't think that's going to happen while our equipment is damaged. Hence, Jesus promises to cover our "unavoidable deficiencies." In the meantime, we are to have a perfect trust in God and a perfect submission to His will.

There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892

Are we born with this perfect trust? What is our situation when we are not submitted to His will?

Are we born with this perfect trust? What is our situation when we are not submitted to His will? When we are born, we have perfect trust, but that trust is in self. We do not naturally trust God, and therefore, do not naturally want to submit to Him. Rather, we are naturally alienated from God. That's why we must be born again.
