Special Series: Covenants in the Bible
1. Covenant - Introduction
2. Covenant of Redemption 
3. Covenant of Works

💁🏻 Concept: Covenant of Works
It refers to the agreement between God and Adam, before the fall, in which Adam, acting as the representative of humanity, was promised eternal life and blessing upon the condition of perfect obedience and death upon disobedience.

📖 Bible Readings: Romans 5:12
(Genesis 2:16-17, 3:6;  Hosea 6:7; Romans 5:12-21; Galatians 3:12; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22, 45)

👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:
The covenant of works:
1. Adam is the head of humanity. 
2. God requires perfect obedience. 
3. Suffering and death entered creation. 

💪🏼 Applications:
1. Compare yourself to God’s standard. 
2. Contemplate the gravity of sin. 
3. Cherish the greatness of the Covenant of Grace. 

🎙Discussion:
Since God requires perfect obedience, what does that reveal about us?

🙏🏼 Prayer:
Our Father in Heaven, You are holy, and Your standard is perfect. When I look at myself, I see how far I fall short. I see my sin and its consequences, and I am humbled. But I thank You for Jesus, my Redeemer, who fulfilled what I could not. Help me to understand the weight of sin so that I may cherish Your grace even more. Teach me to seek Christ daily, to rely on Him, and to rest in His finished work. Let my life reflect gratitude for Your mercy. Thank You for the covenant of grace that saves me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
