Y'all, corporate America has heavily influenced the church and I don't know if people realize it. The left panel, the idea that the covenants in the Bible are like business contracts, is very prevalent among believers. Which confuses me as I remember growing up in church and everyone talking about the Bible being a love story. A love story doesn't center itself around a business contract.

However, usually it does center itself around a marriage. I mention in the comic to do a study on Hebraic marriage. It is so cool to see! The "going to my Father's house to prepare a place". The parable of the wise & foolish virgins. Everything in the Mt. Sinai account and events around it. There is so much in these instances and elsewhere and it is so cool to see.

The Bible doesn't speak of a business agreement between us and the Father. It does speak of a marriage. And marriages have vows, things the spouses say they will do. The question is, are you fulfilling your vows?
