  • Unilateral Covenant: One party obligates themselves to another party (or parties) in a way that doesn’t presume any conditions on the other party.
  • Bilateral Covenant: Some level of mutuality or mutual exchange in the agreement.
• Pactum Salutis: Also known as the eternal covenant or covenant of grace. Begins in the eternal fellowship of God (the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit) by which He makes a covenant to save for Himself a people.
