The Covenant of Life Opened
by Rev. Samuel Rutherford

Description:  How does God save sinners?  This fundamental question is of the highest importance for every human being that has ever lived.  The answer is given in the Bible - God is a covenant keeping God who saves sinners through the work of Jesus Christ – the Mediator of the Covenant of Grace.  With keen insight, Samuel Rutherford unfolds the manner in which God save sinners seen through the three theological and biblically centered covenants found in the Bible: the Covenant of Works, the Covenant of Grace, and the Covenant of Redemption.  The first covenant made was with Adam called the Covenant of Works, where life was promised to Adam on the condition of perfect and personal obedience.  Adam disobeyed God and fell, but God was pleased to make a second covenant called the Covenant of Grace, where He freely offers salvation to sinners in Jesus Christ.  But these two covenants would not exist if it were not for the Covenant of Redemption, the covenant between God and the Son before the world began.  This work is one of the most significant of Rutherford’s treatments of the biblical covenants, containing some of Rutherford’s most mature thoughts.
