Creation / Purpose
God created everything for His glory
God relates to us through covenants
Membership determined by headship
Cultural Mandate: be fruitful & multiply
Adamic Covenant
Adam is head → he sins → all die
Noahic Covenant
Preserves life so God’s promises continu
Abrahamic Covenant
Gracious covenant of works
Circumcision = sign
Problem: external sign, not heart change
Mosaic Covenant
Also gracious covenant of works
Law given → people sin
Need sacrifice + high priest
Davidic Covenant
If king is righteous, nation blessed
David = foreshadow of Jesus
Problem
OT covenants are good but insufficient for eternal life
