What does the Bible say about the works covenant?

Answered in 1 source

The works covenant is God's agreement with Adam, promising life for obedience and death for disobedience.

The works covenant, established between God and Adam, is an agreement where God promised life and happiness contingent upon perfect obedience to His commandments. If Adam obeyed, he would live; if he disobeyed, he would die. When Adam broke this covenant, he brought death—both spiritual and physical—upon himself and all his descendants. This foundational covenant shows the serious nature of God’s law and our inability to keep it perfectly, leading to our inherent need for grace.
Scripture References: Romans 5:12, Genesis 2:16-17
