虽然“救赎之约”这个词不是圣经的用词,但是这个教导,很明显是合乎圣经的:在创世以前,三一真神的三个位格间达成了一个庄严的协定,要完成救赎的工作,父神应许要把一群百姓赐给圣子作为祂的产业,圣子答应会完成他们的救赎,而圣灵立约会为基督作见证,并将祂的救赎施行在祂百姓的心中。如此,根据神的见证,神的羔羊被认为是“世界创立以来被屠杀的”(启13:8,见吕振中译本;新译本也如此翻译),所以圣子要完成救赎的这个协议必然是在历史之前就奠定的。有好几处经文,为救赎之约的观念作见证。主要的一处是诗篇第2篇,那里用父神与基督立约的语言来描述基督。以赛亚书53:10-12也说到圣父和圣子之间,要完成救赎的约定;以弗所书1:3-14给我们三一真神所承担的角色的图画,那是每一个位格从永恒以来就要执行的。不过,描述救赎之约最清楚、最好的经文是在约翰福音。在那里,耶稣重复说到父神赐给祂的工作,所应许要给祂的荣耀的奖赏,以及差派圣灵施行祂救赎的好处,并实际地带来所应许的一群得赎的百姓,这是圣子毫无差误地顺服父神的功德。(见约翰福音5:17-31,36-37,43; 6:37-40,57;7:28-29,38-39;8:16-19,26-29,38,42,49-54;9:4;10:14-18,25-30,36-38;12:23-28,44-50;13:3,20,31-32;14:9-14,16-20,24-26;15:8-15,24-27;16:7-16,27-28;17章)。
(译按:路22:29 按希腊文直译,可以译为:I covenant with you a kingdom as a kingdom was covenanted to me)
Although the term “Covenant of Redemption” is not a biblical designation, the teaching that, from before the creation of the world, the persons of the Trinity entered into a solemn pact to accomplish the work of redemption, the Father promising to give a people to the Son as his inheritance, the Son undertaking to accomplish their redemption, and the Spirit covenanting to testify to Christ, and apply his redemption to his people's hearts, is most evidently biblical. Thus, according to the divine testimony, the Lamb was already considered as “slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev. 13:8) so certainly was the agreement to accomplish redemption established before history.
Several biblical passages give clear testimony to the concept of the Covenant of Redemption. One of the primary is Psalm 2, which depicts Christ relating the terms of the Covenant that the Father had established with him. Isaiah 53:10-12 also speaks of the covenantal agreement between the Father and the Son in the accomplishing of redemption; and Ephesians 1:3-14 gives a trinitarian picture of the roles that each person of the godhead undertook from eternity to perform. However, the clearest and best passages depicting the Covenant of Redemption are to be found in the Gospel of John. There, Jesus repeatedly speaks of the work that the Father gave him to do, the glorious reward that he was promised, and the sending of the Spirit to apply the benefits of his redemption and bring about in fact the promised reward of a redeemed people, that was merited by the Son's unerring obedience to the Father (see John 5:17-31, 36-37, 43; 6:37-40, 57; 7:28-29, 38-39; 8:16-19, 26-29, 38, 42, 49-54; 9:4; 10:14-18, 25-30, 36-38; 12:23-28, 44-50; 13:3, 20, 31-32; 14:9-14, 16-20, 24-26; 15:8-15, 24-27; 16:7-16, 27-28; 17).
