Bibliology: 14 THE COVENANTS OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
This
is the supposed covenant that God made with Adam before he fell, promising him
eternal life in exchange for his good works. While obedience was no doubt
required for Adam to maintain his standing with God, there is no hint in Scripture
that Adam was created in a lost condition or in one in which he needed to earn
eternal life. The only Scripture which can be marshalled in support of such a
covenant is Hosea 6:7 where
the word translated men is the generic term for mankind (adam). If adam is
substituted for men the verse would read: “But they like Adam have
transgressed the covenant.”
