Join us this week as we unpack the foundational doctrine resting at the core of the entire biblical story: the Covenant of Works.

We review how Adam was established as a priest-king in the temple/Garden, obligated to personal, total, and perpetual obedience under the principle, "Do this and live". The covenant was broken when Adam failed to guard the garden against the serpent/Satan, bringing immediate consequences of shame, fear, and death upon all humanity, establishing a powerful, but cursed, instinct in us to try and earn approval through works. The narrative dramatically pivots to the Covenant of Grace through the promise of a "seed" (Genesis 3:15).

Discover how Christ, the Last Adam, perfectly fulfilled the covenant requirements through his obedience and death on the cross, redeeming us from the law's curse. His declaration, "It is finished," signifies the completion of both full obedience and the payment of sin. Find profound comfort and rest, understanding that eternal life is found not by earning God's favor, but by faith alone in Christ's sufficient work.
