What Was Required of Adam in the First Covenant? | March 9 Did God require anything of Adam in the first covenant? Genesis 2:15-17 reveals that God established a Covenant of Works, in which Adam was required to obey perfectly. His obedience would lead to life, but disobedience would bring death. What does this mean for us today? In this episode of Strength for Today, Pastor John Blevins of Christ Church Presbyterian in Knoxville, TN, walks through the biblical and theological foundation of the Covenant of Works. We explore Genesis 2:15-17 and the Westminster Confession of Faith (7.2) to understand what was at stake in Adam's obedience and why it matters for every human being. Key Topics Covered: What was required of Adam in the Covenant of Works The consequences of Adam's obedience or disobedience How this covenant affects all humanity Why we need the Covenant of Grace in Christ If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a comment below.
