Excerpt
Excerpt: A covenant, in general, is an agreement made between two different parties on certain terms. When God condescends to enter into a covenant, the party with whom God enters into such a covenant cannot refuse the terms, or propose terms to God; for all God's terms are consistent with His holiness. When God created man, God's law was in his heart. In his blessed and holy nature there was not anything contrary to God's law which required man to love, honour, and obey God. Nevertheless, God in His infinite wisdom saw that an outward law was essential to prove if man was worthy of the Crown of Life, therefore God gave a positive commandment, which was added to the law of God in man's heart, which constituted the terms of the Covenant of Works.
