Why do people marry? Why are we ingrained with the need to love and be loved? In the beginning, God created man and woman in His image-made with the design to devotedly and intimately love and dwell with Him for all time. However, once sin entered the world, this plan expanded to pursue and redeem the fallen bride, bringing her back to the relationship she was intended to have from the beginning. THE BRIDE OF CHRIST will enrich your understanding of God's Word by exploring how those from the time of Abraham viewed covenants, betrothals, and marriage relationships. By sifting through the Mosaic law, you will better understand God's purpose and intention for marriage. Studying the lives of Hosea and Ruth will reveal how they lived out God's own desire for His people. Most importantly, the life and teachings of Jesus will divulge God's passionate pursuit for you to be a bride of Christ and dwell with Him for all eternity.
