The Bride of Christ

The Bible shows that God's Church is to be the Bride of Christ. Let's see what that means both now and in the future.

How does Paul describe the love Christ has for the Church?

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her" (Ephesians 5:25). Jesus loves the Church as a man anticipating marriage to the woman of his dreams. He was willing to give His life to save hers.

What will the Bride wear to the wedding when Christ returns to rule the earth?

"And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, 'Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.' And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints" (Revelation 19:6-8).
