Jesus our bridegroom: A claim about the reality and nature of the church’s union with Jesus

3 Points of Comparison: 

• Intimacy with Jesus 
• Jesus knows us completely and still loves us (Rm. 5.6-8)
• Our shared status with Jesus
• My debts became our debts; his righteousness became our righteousness (Pp. 3.4-10)
• The permanence of our union with Jesus (Mt. 19.1-6)
• Those who God has joined to Christ will not be separated 

Conclusion: God’s “Yes” to Humanity

• Will you say Yes to Jesus?
• If so, then have you embraced your new status in him?
