The Westminster Confession
God’s Covenant of Life
Matthew 26:26-29

About this sermon
This sermon explores the theological framework of God's covenants as outlined in Chapter 7 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, beginning with the institution of the Lord's Supper in Matthew 26. It defines a covenant as a divinely established binding relationship and explains the inherent gap between God and humanity, which cannot be bridged by human obedience alone. The teaching contrasts the Covenant of Works, which required perfect personal obedience from Adam, with the Covenant of Grace, which offers salvation through Jesus Christ to those who believe. Emphasizing the necessity of the Holy Spirit to renew the human heart, the sermon presents a unified view of salvation history where God voluntarily condescends to provide life and fellowship to His people.
