Episode 7.2: The Covenant of Works

What is a covenant? What are the parts of a covenant? Where in Scripture would you go to understand the covenant of works? Why is it called a covenant of “works”? Was the covenant of works a gracious covenant? Do we have any idea how long Adam continued before breaking the covenant? How does the covenant of works relate to humanity today? Tune in as Nathan, Joel, Shawn, and Kyle discuss these questions and more from WCF 7.2:

The first covenant made with man was a covenant of works, wherein life was promised to Adam; and in him to his posterity, upon condition of perfect and personal obedience.
