What is the Adamic Covenant
The Adamic Covenant can be thought of in two parts: the Edenic Covenant (innocence) and the Adamic Covenant (grace).
The Edenic Covenant is found in ; .
The details of this covenant include the following:
Edenic
Mankind (male and female) created in God’s image.
Mankind’s dominion (rule) over the animal kingdom.
Divine directive for mankind to reproduce and inhabit the entire Earth.
Mankind to be vegetarian (eating of meat established in the Noahic covenant: ).
Eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil forbidden (with death as the stated penalty).
The first part of the Adamic covenant, the Edenic covenant, consists of blessings and a warning to Adam.
He and Eve are created in God's image, and given dominion over the animals.
They are given the gift of relationship with one another and the ability to bear children and expand the race over the whole Earth.
They are vegetarian, so no slaughter of animals is necessary.
Eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is forbidden.
God makes it clear that "in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die" ().
Adam broke the Edenic covenant when he took the fruit that Eve gave him, and ate it, defying God's command and bringing the penalty of death on the whole race ().
Adamic
After Adam broke God’s initial covenant and fell, God made a specific covenant with Him related to what conditions would be like for man and how He would restore creation.
The Adamic covenant is sometimes called the covenant of nature, the covenant of creation, and the covenant of works because the blessings of the covenant depended, in part, upon the works of Adam and Eve in the Garden.
In the Adamic covenant, Adam represented all people.
The phrase "in Adam" is a term of federal headship which designates that he was our representative.
This is why the Bible says that sin entered the world through one man ().
Furthermore, the Bible tells us that "in Adam all die..." ().
Therefore, the Adamic covenant was not just with Adam, but is also representative of those who were in him, his descendants.

This time the covenant involved God, Adam, Eve, and the serpent.
God addressed each of them individually in the covenant with man, both male and female, collectively bearing the weight of their sin.
As the result of Adam’s sin, the following curses were pronounced:
Enmity between Satan and Eve and her descendants.
Painful childbirth for women.
Marital strife.
The soil cursed.
Introduction of thorns and thistles.
Survival to be a struggle.
Death introduced.
Death will be the inescapable fate of all living things.
Only the serpent he said cursed are you verse 14
Grace wasn’t extended to the serpent
Redemption was secured in the Adamic Covenant when God cursed the serpent.
The curses are inescapable, but a great promise of grace and forgiveness was issued.
It was not wrong for Adam and Eve to want to be “god-like,” that is to mirror His characteristics, and that is a good and worthy goal.
But to want to become “God” and take His place is rebellion against God.
We would be attempting to place ourselves above Him.
Beware of Satan’s deceit and lies.
God is supreme and sovereign and cannot be outdone.

Although these curses are severe and inescapable, a wonderful promise of grace was also included in the Adamic Covenant.
is often referred to as the “Proto-Gospel” or “First Gospel.”
Speaking to Satan, God says, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, / And between your seed and her seed; / He shall bruise you on the head, / And you shall bruise him on the heel.”
Here God promises that one born of a woman would be wounded in the process of destroying Satan.
The “seed” of the woman who would crush the Serpent’s head is none other than Jesus Christ (see and ).
Even in the midst of the curse, God’s gracious provision of salvation shines through.
Matthew Henry said by faith in this promise we have reason to think our first parents and the patriarchs before the flood, were justified by Grace
Gospel
Today we need to thank God for Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the cross.
The Devil thought he won the victory when Christ died on the cross but as the songwriter sang
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose!
He arose!
Hallelujah!
Christ arose!
