The Believer's Privileges In the Covenant of Grace

Thomas Watson (1620-1686) was one of the most highly esteemed nonconformist Puritans of his day, as well as being an extremely popular preacher.

Watson explains what the biblical privileges of the Covenant of Grace are for a believer. He demonstrates that such privileges are in fact benefits lavished on the Christian by the work and ministry of Jesus Christ, through his life, death, resurrection and present intercession. It is impossible to divorce the privileges of a believer as a redeemed individual with the connection he has with Christ in the Covenant of Grace. Christ’s covenant, ministered to the believer through faith, is the mode in which the believer will obtain all the benefits offered.

After explaining his main text, “All things are yours,” (1 Corinthians 3:21), and expounding the twelve royal privileges of a believer, he spends the last third of the work showing important inferences which evolve out of this doctrine.
