God's people enter a covenant in Nehemiah chapter 10 that is full of details. These examples should teach us the importance of faithful obedience as opposed to the legalism that Christ opposed in the religious leaders of His day.
The Bible teaches us that individuals must be in community and that covenants made in these relationships must have details. The devil is not upset when we make vague promises, but is very concerned about specific steps of obedience that we covenant to take as God's people.

He also shows clearly how covenant renewal worship results in our being commissioned for faithful obedience in our week ahead.
