You asked the question as to whether the Law is a covenant of works. To this you replied: “No, in the sense that in the Mosaic covenant there is a grace level for the eternal salvation of the individual”.
Could you please explain this? What is that grace? Who received it? and if it is only Christ that received it, was he saved by grace (as we are) or his perfection demonstrated by strict observance of the whole Law?

Thanks you,
Martin

I also believe it is addressed in the video I link to in the comments of the first blog. I believe it is in reference to Augustine’s view as a starting point which the Reformed Tradition adopted. The booklet addresses Covenant Merit and strict or proper merit. I post a part of the discussion here which also addresses some of the questions you bring up in the first blog post. http://rpcnacovenanter.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/creation-condescension-and-redefinition-of-covenant-merit/

Be patient and read the booklet. I think it will be a blessing to your soul.

And why is it such a scandalous idea that the text of Scripture ought to provide the concrete, time-space terms of a particular covenant?
