Could you suggest some articles on this covenant you speak of? I do understand the difference between covenant and salvation. What I don't understand is how favor is obtained through a covenant when man sins in all his works.
Begin here: Covenant Theology.

Life itself is a gift. They have children--which is a gift, etc. There is a unsurmountable number of favors, common grace, that God exhibits toward the non-elect. It is not that God is looking upon them and saying the non-elect deserve or have earned this favor, it is that God is merciful and gracious and He gives grace and favor even when it is not deserved.
