Someone wondered about the covenant of works versus the covenant of redemption and where Jesus fits in; maybe the question is a categorical error, though it reminds me of Plotinus' query about why 'the One' or God would emanate or create anything to start with since He is perfect and one might infer that anything created would need to be less so. That is God transcends covenants-for-non-contingent beings, though He has stipulated them. Jesus is God and satisfies the covenant of works with the covenant of Grace-for-the-elect. Redemption is grace sine qua non. No one besides the Lord could satisfy the covenant of works, hence the covenant of Grace appeared with the Lord.
