Episode notes
Episode Overview
In this episode, we look at the very first covenant in Scripture—the Covenant with Adam. God created Adam in His image, breathed life into him, and called him to live in obedience, trust, and fellowship.
Key Themes
- Centered on Obedience Adam was made as a Priest-King to rule creation under God’s authority. His task was simple: enjoy God’s provision but do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
- The Promise God’s desire was a lifelong relationship with Adam and Eve—perfect fellowship, abundant provision, and joy. Augustine described Eden as life without any pain of body or mind.
- The Sign The tree reminded Adam that life and wisdom came from God, not from himself. It was a call to daily trust and dependence.
