Q

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”

Who said: ““For Christ frees us, not only from guilt (reatu), but also from corruption
(pravitate). For as a double evil (duplex malum) befell us from Adam, even
our guilt (reatus) for the sin committed in him, and the corruption (depravatio)
of our nature propagated (propagata) from him unto us: so by Christ, the other
Adam, a double grace has befallen us: even imputation of righteousness and
regeneration.”

Article 1: “That God, by an eternal, unchangeable purpose in Jesus Christ, his Son, before
the foundation of the world, hath determined, out of the fallen, sinful race of men, to save
in Christ, for Christ’s sake, and through Christ, those who, through the grace of the Holy
Ghost, shall believe on this his Son Jesus, and shall persevere in this faith and obedience of
faith, through his grace, even to the end; and on the other hand, to leave the incorrigible
and unbelieving in sin and under wrath, and to condemn them as alienate from Christ,
according to the word of God in John 3:16 and other passages.”
Article 2: “… Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, died for all men and for every man, so
that he has obtained for them all, by his death on the cross, redemption, and the forgiveness
of sins; yet that no one actually enjoys this forgiveness of sins, except the believer.”
Article 3: “That man has not saving grace of himself, nor of the energy of his free-will,
inasmuch as he, in the state of apostasy and sin, can of and by himself neither think, will,
nor do anything that is truly good (such as having faith eminently is); but that it is needful
that he be born again of God in Christ, through his Holy Spirit, and renewed in
understanding, inclination, or will, and all his powers, in order that he may rightly
understand, think, will, and effect what is truly good, according to the word of Christ, John
xv. 5: ‘Without me ye can do nothing.’”
Article 4: “That this grace of God is the beginning, continuance, and accomplishment of
any good, even to this extent, that the regenerate man himself, without that prevenient or
assisting; awakening, following, and co-operative grace, [can] neither think, will, nor do
good, nor withstand any temptations to evil; so that all good deeds or movements that can
be conceived must be ascribed to the grace of God in Christ. But, as respects the mode of
the operation of this grace, it is not irresistible, inasmuch as it is written concerning many
that they have resisted the Holy Ghost,—Acts vii, and elsewhere in many places.”
Article 5: “…But whether they are capable, through negligence, of forsaking again the first
beginnings of their life in Christ, of again returning to this present evil world, of turning
away from the holy doctrine which was delivered them, of losing a good conscience, of
becoming devoid of grace, that must be more particularly determined out of the Holy
Scriptures before we ourselves can teach it with the full persuasion of our minds.”

36
Q

What is the covenant of redemption?

A

God having freely chosen unto life a
certain number of lost mankind; for the glory of his rich grace, did give them, before the
world began, unto God the Son, appointed Redeemer; that, upon condition he would
humble himself so far as to assume the human nature, of a soul and a body, unto personal
union with his divine nature, and submit himself to the law, as surety for them, and
satisfy justice for them, by giving obedience in their name, even unto the suffering of the
cursed death of the cross, he should ransom and redeem them all from sin and death, and
purchase unto them righteousness and eternal life, with all saving graces leading
thereunto, to be effectually, by means of his own appointment, applied in due time to
every one of them. This condition the Son of God (who is Jesus Christ our Lord) did
accept before the world began, and in the fulness of time came into the world, was born
of the Virgin Mary, subjected himself to the law, and completely paid the ransom on the
cross: But by virtue of the foresaid bargain, made before the world began, he is in all
ages, since the fall of Adam, still upon the work of applying actually the purchased
benefits unto the elect; and that he doth by way of entertaining a covenant of free grace
and reconciliation with them, through, faith in himself; by which covenant, he makes
over to every believer a right and interest to himself, and to all his blessings.
