WLC - Question 31
From Sensus Plenior
WLC - Question 31 With whom was the covenant of grace made?
WLC - Answer 31 The covenant of grace was made with Christ as the second Adam, and in him with all the elect as his seed.
WLC - Answer 31 (Bob) The question forces an answer. The 'covenant of grace' referred to is described as God putting the law into their minds and writing the law upon their hearts [1] with greater penalties than the first covenant [2] This sounds more like a covenant of holiness. [3] Henceforth, covenants will be referred to as Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Isaiaic, Jacobic, Mosaic, and Christian.
The Christian covenant is the fulfillment of all the other covenants.
- Adamic covenant
- Noahic covenant
- Abrahamic covenant
- Isaic covenant
- Jacobic covenant
- Mosaic covenant
- Christian covenant
