Of the Fall, Sin, & Punishment 1689:ch.6 p.10 - Cov. of Works3

Speaker: Jason Montgomery Series: The 1689 Confession Date: September 27, 2026 Bible: Genesis 1:26-28 Today's Sunday School examines the doctrine of the Covenant of Works as articulated in Chapter 6 of the Baptist Confession of Faith. The teaching is structured around three key concepts: man is created upright and perfect in the image of God, man is covenanted through a sovereignly established law that promises life for obedience and death for breach, and man is crowned with a position of honor that includes original righteousness and communion with God. The discussion highlights the distinction between the law written on the heart and the specific positive command regarding the tree of knowledge, emphasizing that this covenant was initiated by God rather than sought by man. Furthermore, Pastor Jason addresses the temporary nature of this state, noting that despite Adam's favorable position and free will, he was mutable and capable of transgression, leading to his fall. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/9...
