After reading a commentary study on the WCF, I found something so true. The author stated that within our reformed community we often explain a covenant as simple as "an agreement between two people" he says that is not an accurate description of how a covenant works.He say's when we refer to a covenant just as an "agreement between two people" we imply that God is equal with man in the covenant and we lose the distinction between creator/creature.I agree, we leave others open to the false idea that God had to consult and come to an agreement with man in order for him to cooperate. Instead of God condescending upon man and revealing to man his purpose and duty.
With that being said, in your bible classes or Sunday school classes how do you define a covenant? How and where do you start to give people an overview of how what a covenant is and how it works?
I personally start at Gen 2:15-17
