My husband and I have been reading the WCF after our Bible study together. I have a question regarding covenants.
The WCF states that the first covenant was a covenant of works which Adam broke. The second covenant was (is) the covenant of grace. I like the way this brings together the people of God, both OT and NT.
However, Jeremiah 31 seems to differentiate between the covenant that the Israelites had in the OT (the "Old Covenant) with the coming in the book of Hebrews of the NT (the "New Covenant") which was ratified by Christ's blood.
Can someone help me understand how this works together?
