I am reading through K.Scott Oliphant's "Covenantal Apologetics" which I am really enjoying. I know that as creator of everyone, God is over them and their LORD and they are responsible and accountable to Him even if they do not acknowledge such.
But Oliphant takes it a little further and says that everyone is actually in covenant with God. I thought in the New Covenant only believers were in covenant with God. Would this go back to Paul's argument in Romans that everyone is either in Adam or in Jesus? Those in Adam are in the covenant of Works and will ultimately perish unless brought into the covenant of Grace through Jesus. Correct?
