Page 103 - The Remnant Bride

We have been ransomed, but we have not been left at the place of salvation. A promise

yet remains to us. A promise of betrothal. A promise of unity. A promise of eternally
standing with the One who purchased us with His own blood.

Our Bridegroom asks for our devotion, our love. Competing affections must be
overcome. Our Bridegroom gave all to purchase for Himself a Bride. He asks that the Bride

give all for Him. Yahshua did not merely tell those who would follow Him that they must
love Him, He went so far as to specify the degree to which they must love Him.

Matthew 22:37-38

And He said to him, “‘You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the great and foremost

commandment.””

Those who are the Bride agree that this is not only reasonable, it is desirable. There
are no other gods before Christ in their lives. As David, they have invited God to inspect

their lives and to correct all that needs amending.

Psalms 139:23-24
Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; And

see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

It was revealed to John that much sorrow and tribulation would precede Christ”s final
triumphant return. However, his heart was gripped with the glory of union with Christ. His

words are the words of one who has seen the Bridegroom.

Revelation 22:17

And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come."

Let there be no delay.
