Relation of Christ to the eight covenants, from Scofield Reference Notes (1917)

(Note: Online, interactive quizzes with automatic scoring for these topics from Scofield are available; surf to the index of quizzes or review quiz on this topic.)

The relation of Christ to the eight covenants is as follows:

(1) To the Edenic Covenant, Christ, as the “second Man,” the “last Adam” 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 takes the place over all things which the first Adam lost ; Colossians 2:10; Hebrews 2:7-8.

(2) He is the “Seed of the woman” of the Adamic Covenant Genesis 3:15; John 12:31; 1 John 3:8; Galatians 4:4; Revelation 20:10 and fulfilled its conditions of toil Mark 6:3 and obedience.

(3) As the greatest son of Shem, in Him was fulfilled supremely the promise to Shem in the Noahic Covenant. Colossians 2:9.

(4) He is the “Seed to whom the promises were made” in the Abrahamic Covenant; the son of Abraham obedient unto death Genesis 22:18; Galatians 3:16; Philippians 2:8.

(5) He lived sinlessly under the Mosaic covenant and bore for us its curse. Galatians 3:10-13.

(6) He lived obediently as a Jew in the land under the Palestinian Covenant, and will yet perform it gracious promises Deuteronomy 28:1-30:9.

(7) He is the “Seed,” “Heir,” and “King” under the Davidic Covenant Matthew 1:1; Luke 1:31-33.

(8) His sacrifice is the foundation of the New Covenant Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25.

Scripture references

1 Corinthians 15:45-47

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
