The Covenant Family of God

What is a covenant?  Unlike a contract (which is an exchange of goods and services), a covenant is total exchange of persons.  From divine revelation we learn God invites us into his covenant family.  He gives Himself entirely to us and we are called to give ourselves entirely to Him.  This is most notably seen in the Church!
