Why does God need to make Covenant with you?
As in if you only had to promise God you would be good, only had to make that promise, but didn't keep it you would still go to heaven.
Perhaps it is better phrased this way, "Who do you think you are that you can bargain with God?"
If God were to bargain with you he would no longer be of the standard of what a God is?
Does God care if you made the willful choice to live a criminal life leading straight to hell? Do you believe at the last moment he would say we want the souls of those who chose to go to hell in heaven with us?
What do you have to give to God in a bargain? Do you believe God needs or wants what you stole? As if what you stole somehow has value to him?
I think God is more about free will. Is it a choice for you whether to be good or not? Perhaps for some it isn't. If you see are good and have no problem being good because it is you, have you really made a choice? Do you believe God rejects people like that? Who lives better in the image of God than that?
Who is it that would attempt to fool the rest of us that they are the ones who hold the true contract with God?

Ps. Does the Devil, know by comparison, that it is the Devil?
And I would assert that a true human being doesn't make the choice to be good, they are good.
