Quest. What Names are given to the Covenant?

:682p. 89

Resp. 1. It is called a Covenant of Peace, Ezek. 37.26. because it Seals up Reconciliation between God and humble Sinners. Before this Covenant there was nothing but Enmity; God did not love us. A Creature that offends cannot be loved by an holy God; and we did not love him; a God that condemns, cannot be loved by a guilty Creature: so that there was War on both sides. But God hath found out a way in the new Covenant to reconcile differing Parties, so that it is fitly called a Covenant of Peace.
