Signed in Love: Contract or Covenant?
These days, relationships can feel like business deals—full of terms, conditions, and exit clauses. But God’s love flips the script. Instead of a contract, He invites us into a covenant—which is like a deep, unbreakable promise. A contract requires two parties agreeing on terms, but a covenant requires three—you, your spouse, and God. And long before contracts even existed, covenants were the foundation of God’s relationships with His people. It’s not based on performance or convenience but on unwavering love and commitment, no matter what.
