What is a “testament” and “testator”? Why is it important to retain this language? How does this help us understand the covenant of grace? Why are the benefits of the covenant of grace connected to the death of Jesus? What is the inheritance? Tune in as Nathan, Joel, Shawn, and Kyle discuss these questions and more from WCF 7.4:
