Pactum Salutis according to Owen

In JV Fesko's recent article on the history of justification, he briefly discusses the place of the Pactum Salutis (PS) in Owen's understanding of God's redemptive work. Below is an excerpt from that essay where Dr. Fesko helpfully outlines the 5 major characteristics of the PS according to Owen's analysis. It is a helpful overview for those who are not familiar with the doctrine.

Regarding the pactum salutis (or covenant of redemption), Owen explains that there are five characteristics:

1. the Father and the Son mutually agree to the common goal of the salvation of the elect (Heb 2:9-10; 12:2;Zech 6:13; 13:7; Ps 55:14; Prov 8:22-21);
2. the Father as principal of the covenant requires the Son to accomplish all that is necessary to secure the redemption of the elect-to do the Father's will (Mic 6:6-7; 1 Pet 1:18; Heb 10:4; Rom 3:25; Phil 2:6-7; Gal 4:4;Rom 8:3; Heb 10:9; Isa 49:5; John 14:28; Isa 53:10);
3. the Father promises to reward Christ for accomplishing his will (Isa 42:4; Ps 16:10; 89:28; Heb 5:7; Isa 53:10-11; Heb 12:2; Isa 42:1-4; Heb 7:28);
4. the Son accepts the work given to him by the Father (Ps 40:7-8; 16:2; Isa 50:5; Phil 2:6-8); and
5. the Father agrees to accept the Son's work upon its completion (Isa 49:5-6; Ps 2:7 Acts 13:33; Rom 1:4; Ps 2:8; John 17:1, 4-6, 12-16; Heb 9:24). (article)
