Last time, we addressed the covenant of works and our relationship to Adam, which has plunged us into a state of sin and misery without any hope of deliverance. Today, we discuss what God has done to redeem us from that state of sin and misery. We discuss the nature of the agreement made within the Godhead before time began—the eternal covenant—to ransom certain people for God's own possession. Of utmost importance to us are the implications of that agreement for us, so we discuss our relationship to the eternal covenant by considering our relationship to Christ in contrast to our relationship to Adam.
