Who said: “All the word of God appertains to some covenant: for God speaks
nothing to man without the covenant: for which case all the
scripture both old and new, wherein all God’s word is contained,
bears the name of God’s covenant or testament”
Robert Rollock, A
treatise of God’s effectual calling)
Who said: ““The Doctrine of the Divine Covenant lies at the root of all true
theology. It has been said that he who well understands the
distinction between the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of
Grace is a master of divinity. I am persuaded that most of the
mistakes which men make concerning the Doctrines of Scripture
are based upon fundamental errors with regard to the Covenants of
Law and of Grace. May God grant us now the power to instruct—
and you the Grace to receive instruction on this vital subject”
(Charles Spurgeon, “The Wondrous Covenant”).
What is the covenant of works?
“The covenant of works is the agreement between God and Adam
created in God’s image to be the head and prince of the whole

felicity, should he obey all his precepts most perfectly, adding the
threat of death, should he sin even in the least detail. . . .” (Herman
Witsius, The economy of the covenants).
