We launch our study of the Covenants of the Old Testament with the Adamic Covenant. God Promises Adam that if he sins, he will experience a death. As God unlocks what that death is to look like, we find comfort in knowing that life is supposed to be difficult. When our lives are hard… When raising our kids is hard… When our marriages are hard… When our relationships are hard… When our jobs are hard… it’s not a sign that we are doing something wrong. It’s a sign that God was right, as He always is. We experience the promise God made to Adam every day. Everything it means to be human can only really be understood in the context of Genesis chapter three so this is where we must start. But we don’t stop there. Our hope comes from the secret promise hidden in God’s words in this fateful chapter. Things won’t always be this way!
