In this teaching Calvin and Julie draw from the scriptures to help us see God's design for a covenant love relationship. This message is a preview of more that will be discussed at our upcoming Marriage Rx Workshop January 21-23, 2016.
A contract is more like a promise of performance that secures personal benefit and limits liability and responsibility. A covenant is more like a promise of love that secures a relationship that actually assumes unlimited liability and responsibility. This covenant relationship is easily seen in God's heart toward mankind, the Church as the Bride of Christ and the way we are designed to walk together in relationship.
