Ellet Joseph Waggoner (1855 – 1916) was a leading Seventh-day Adventist preacher and writer. He writes, "The Bible was written for no other purpose than to show the way of life. It contains history and biography, but these are parts of the Gospel Message. Not one line is written except to reveal Christ; whoever reads it for any other purpose than to find in it the way of salvation from sin, reads it in vain; studied in the light of Calvary, it is a delight, and things that would otherwise be obscure are made clear as the noonday. The pages that follow are designed as an aid to all who would look at the precepts and promises of the Bible in their true setting. One line runs through the entire Bible, God’s everlasting covenant. Standing at the Cross, one can see the working of God’s eternal purpose, which He purposed “in Christ before the world began.” The history from Paradise lost till Paradise restored, is set forth as in a panorama."

The everlasting covenant between God and His people. The covenant and it's operations is carefully, and clearly explained in all it's aspects. Chapter headings include: The Council between The Father, Son and Spirit Properties of The Everlasting Covenant The Gospel Is The Everlasting Covenant The Eternal Covenant of Grace between the Father, Son And Holy Spirit Christ, The Mediator of the Covenant Christ, The Covenant Head of the Elect The Spirit of God And The Covenant of Grace The Covenant of Grace in The Patriarchal Period The Covenant of Grace under the Mosaic Dispensation The Covenant of Grace in the Times of David, and the Succeeding Prophets, to the Coming of Christ
