Ep. 2 Scott Swain | The Covenant of Works

On this episode of “What Christians Believe,” host Derek Rishmawy is joined by Dr. Scott Swain to examine the Covenant of Works (also called the covenant of life or covenant of creation) between God and Adam. The episode covers why this covenant is recognized even though the word "covenant" doesn't appear in Genesis 2–3, what Adam's obedience would have earned, how his failure brought guilt and death to the whole human race, and how the Covenant of Works sets up the shape of Christ's obedience on our behalf.
