The spine's role as a support structure is emblematic of the steadfastness expected of individuals in their faith and actions. While the term itself may not appear frequently in the biblical text, its conceptual significance is underscored by the broader biblical themes of strength and integrity. The spine's function as a central support system mirrors the spiritual and moral backbone that believers are encouraged to develop and maintain.
