When the apostle in writing to the Hebrews speaks of the old and new covenants, he uniformly refers to the covenant at Sinai, and that ratified by the blood of Jesus Christ. The covenant at Sinai, could never be called a covenant of works, for it was a type and shadow of the new covenant, and not opposed to it, although it was thus perverted by the Jews. Immediately after the fall, man was placed under a gracious constitution by the promise of a Saviour being given him. Under this constitution, all men have been since the fall, and will be to the end of the world. On this all God’s dealings with them have been founded.
