All Covenant Sin Threefold Office Of Adam

Reformed Systematic Theology, Volume 3: Spirit and Salvation Quotes

“At the core of sin is hatred against God as our creator and lawgiver…. Sin rejects this relationship and replaces a humble, filial love with proud independence, so that natural love descends into the pit of self-deification. The image of God and the covenant with Adam engage man as God’s covenant servant according to the threefold office of prophet, priest, and king. Sin twists man into a false prophet who refuses to receive God’s Word by faith and speaks lies; an unholy priest who pollutes God’s worship and seeks after created idols; and a rebellious king who transgresses God’s law and incurs liability to his sovereign retribution.”
