The Bride of Christ

Scripture teaches that Christ's relationship with His church (you and me) is likened to a relationship between a bride and groom. Revelation 19:6-9

In this case, Christ is the groom and the church His bride.

Go back a bit in Revelation (2 & 3) and you’ll find, in the seven letters to the churches, warnings on what the church should avoid so as to be presentable to Him:

- Being luke-warm
- Watering down the Word
- Forgetting our first love (God and one another)

So... the challenge then for us (the bride of Christ), is make sure where we are, spiritually, mentally and physically so that we can present Christ His bride the best we can...

For me it starts:

- By giving ourselves fully to God
- By reading our Bibles regularly
- By DOING what God has called us to do – to love Him and one another with all that we have


If you’re challenged by this, then pray with me:

Lord, I’m sorry for forgetting my first love and for being luke-warm.

Please forgive me and help me read my bible and DO what you’ve called me to do.

Thank you Lord, I pray this in Jesus name, Amen.
