Mormons believe that humans can, by making and keeping covenants, become co-heirs with Christ in ALL that the Father has. This is a Biblical concept.

Quite right Ryan. Also Ryan, it is impossible for a human to keep a covenant with God. In fact it is God that always keeps the covenant which is why he sent Jesus into the world which if we read form Hebrews 7:22
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant. So since Jesus was sent into the world then he is the one who makes the covenants, not us. Hebrews 10:16
“This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds. See, Jesus makes the covenant. Then, Luke 22:20
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. So here we see that it is Jesus blood that is the new covenant. So, if Jesus controls the covenant, and his blood is the covenant, that means he is the covenant.
So if Jesus Christ dies as the new covenant then who am I to assume that I as a human can "Make or keep" a covenant with Jesus? That busts this theory. Our best works are merely trash so how in the world can we obtain a covenant because we deem our selves righteous. I am sorry but it isn't me that can fill that boot.
Good job Ryan. A+ for you.
