Quest. 5 5. What is it to be a stranger to the Covenants of Promise?
Answ. Answ. Did you but dive and look into the bottom of it, you would find it to be the final upshot of the misery of an unconverted man; to be a stranger to the Covenants of Promise, is to be in such a dismal and lamentable and deplorable condition, as that none of all the promises of God, for Grace, and life, and Salvation by Christ, doth appertain to him: and is not this a very miserable and sad condition, that the Lord looks upon a man in an unregenerate estate, as uncapable of any mercy, life or salvation by Christ? A Covenant (as I told you) is a bundle of promises, it contains all the promises of Grace, life, and salvation, now if you be without the Covenant, you must needs be destitute of all the promises by Christ.
