| | Reject God, His contract, and His way and you are heading to a fiery eternity. | | | The cost for such a life is an eternity separated from God – a eternity spent in Hell. | | | This is like having a contract with another party that is in business to guarantee that you succeed, and that is what makes Him God. |

| | Papercut Theology: A Contract With God |
| | Nevertheless, it is telling that this idea of a contract with God is a pure and audible echo of circumcision, which God commanded as the sign of the original Abrahamic covenant: | | | Circumcision was originally commanded as man's response to God's offer of a covenant. | | | Some suggest that in the Christian life, baptism is like our signature on a contract with God for our salvation. |
