The Doctrine of the Covenant of Grace

Module 3 - Anthropology: The Doctrine of Man

The scope of this third module is to explore what the Bible teaches about man. And what we learn from Scripture about God leads us to a right understanding of man. Men are tireless in their pursuit of understanding themselves. Their origin, their makeup, their identity, their purpose, and destiny, and so on. But true knowledge of man is not found within himself. It is discovered in what God reveals in Scripture. So if you wish to gain a deeper understanding of man, these lectures aim to benefit you. The lectures in this third module, on the Doctrine of Man, are introductory, not exhaustive, and they are intended to furnish you with a foundation that you can build upon in your further studies.

The Doctrine of the Covenant of Grace

We’ll begin by looking briefly at a passage of Scripture to open up our consideration of the Doctrine of the Covenant of Grace. In Genesis 3, verse 15, we read, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heal.” In the last lecture on the covenant of works, we saw the human race cast into the deplorable condition of sin, with the consequences of death. The question comes, Does any hope remain?
