Discussion Questions: Baptist Catechism 19

  1. Read Baptist Catechism question 19 again and attempt to rephrase it. In other words, what is this question all about? What is it asking?
  2. What is a covenant? Why is it important to understand the various covenants that God has entered into with man? Can you name them?
  3. The covenant that God made with Adam in the beginning goes by different names. What are they? And what do the various names tell us about this covenant?  
  4. What were the terms of the covenant that God made with Adam? What were the promised blessings for obedience? What were the threatened curses for disobedience?
  5. The Covenant of Life or Works was made with Adam, but all humanity was affected by Adam’s fall into sin. How can this be?
  6. This principle of representation (or federal headship) is present in the Covenant of Grace as well. How so? Discuss. 
  7. Romans 5:12-19 and 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 are listed as proof texts in our catechism. Please read those texts and discuss their meaning.
