Albert MohlerHOST
It's intended to be so.
Albert MohlerHOST
Let's just remind ourselves that this comes right from the Noahic Covenant.
Albert MohlerHOST
I'm reading to you from Genesis chapter nine, beginning in verse five, where God says to Noah, "And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning from every beast.
Albert MohlerHOST
I will require it, and from man, from his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man." Then in verse six, "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image." So here's where in scripture God ties the Imago Dei, the image of God, directly to the death penalty.
J.V. FeskoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We know, of course, though, that God's covenant with Noah was not the final covenant, because in a similar way to Adam, Noah fell in a vineyard, not in a garden, but in a vineyard as he became drunk in Genesis 9:20-21.
J.V. FeskoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So we have the initial activity between Adam and Eve and God, the Noahic covenant.
J.V. FeskoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Thirdly, we also have the Abrahamic covenant, and that God continues His salvific purposes through Abraham, and this is evident through a couple of clues.
J.V. FeskoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
First, if you remember from the Genesis narrative, it is not Abraham who seeks God, but rather it is God who graciously reaches out and saves Abraham.

the New Covenant.
J.V. FeskoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So here we can see that the covenant of grace is at work with our first parents on the heels of the Fall.
J.V. FeskoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's at work in the Noahic Covenant, in the Abrahamic Covenant, in the Mosaic Covenant, in the Davidic Covenant, as well as in the New Covenant.
J.V. FeskoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So this brings us to our last and final point, in that we just want to hit some highlights so that we can understand the, the nature of the covenant of grace.
Matt MenzelHOST
God relates to us through covenant.
Matt MenzelHOST
Uh, and so, you know, a lot of theologians will point to like seven different covenants in scripture, the Adamic covenant, the Noahic covenant, the Abrahamic covenant, the Mosaic covenant, the Davidic covenant, uh, the new covenant, the everlasting covenant.
Matt MenzelHOST
Right.
Matt MenzelHOST
So there's seven.

And we know if you look at the Bible, you do a bit of Bible study, there's various covenants that God or agreements God gives to people.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
he's the patriarchs so we have the Noahic Covenant that God comes to Noah and he says to him that he will no longer flood the earth after that there's a promise as a rainbow that we have we had the Abrahamic Covenant and the promise he's going to have a the father of great many people a great nation and of course we have the Mosaic Covenant we have the law that is given to Moses and So we have various expressions of God's promises to the people.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
And the big thing that we all know is that they all failed, not because of the promises that God gave, which were great.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
It was Israel's disobedience to God and continuing looking away from those promises.
James ZekveldGUEST
So you're looking at the covenant with Adam.
James ZekveldGUEST
a covenant with Adam through the lens of the Mosaic covenant or the Noahic covenant or so on, or you reduce covenant to one aspect of covenant, whether it's oath or relationship or bond.
James ZekveldGUEST
Both damage the concept of covenant and create confusions over the history of salvation.
James ZekveldGUEST
While this is likely in itself something of tertiary importance, it doesn't mean it's unimportant.

James ZekveldGUEST
And I'll comment a little bit on the last one.
James ZekveldGUEST
If to be human is to be in covenant, what of those without the intellectual capacity to receive covenant? many of the problems we might find in liberalism are incipient in certain forms of federal theology.
James ZekveldGUEST
That brings us to our topic today, the place of the Noahic covenant, all of this.
James ZekveldGUEST
So the question for us today is, does Adamic sonship rather than an Adamic covenant work with the rest of scripture.
