Covenant in the scriptures is always one sided. And there is some different interpretations in one verse in the scripture that supposedly states that the pre fall garden was a covenant of works. So i do not believe that the bible uses this term in to make it a covenant. So i take the position that it was just a test, and a very short one. I think this was John Murray's position. I dont believe that it makes any difference in mans pre fall moral ability. But i believe it adds more liberty in law- grace distinction, since the biblical definition of covenant continues to be purely one sided.
