Businesses use contracts to make commitments for products and services. Their accompanying commitments to integrity and customer service help determine the success of their contracts. People make promises to other people. Their commitments to honesty and love help determine whether they will fulfill their promises.
I Kings 8:23 says, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to your servants who walk before you with all their heart.” Our God alone is the One who keeps His covenant with His children and will always steadfastly love us. To keep our part of this covenant, we wholeheartedly walk in His ways. Both parties to a covenant have a deeper commitment to each other than simple promises imply.
