What Does It Mean To Be The Bride of Christ – 4 Preparing for a Wedding

Love Prepares Us for the Wedding

For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.   Ephesians 5:25-27

Christ’s Work In Us Did Not Stop At Salvation

Love Changes The Way We Prepare

Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.   1 John 3:2-3

The Wedding Day Is Coming

Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself. She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.” For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people… Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.   Revelation 19:7-9

And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.   Revelation 21:2

…Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.   Revelation 21:3
