Part 1 Introduction

If you’ve ever felt confused about love, marriage, or even God’s plan for your life—this message is for you.

The Bible uses the story of marriage, even a broken one, to reveal prophecy, salvation, and how close we are to the end?

For instance, notice what God instruct John to do in Revelation 19:19

🎤 “Then he said to me, ‘Write: “Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!”’ And he said to me, ‘These are the true sayings of God’ ” (Revelation 19:19).

🔑God is planning the greatest wedding celebration of all time—a heavenly wedding feast.

And guess what YOU are invited!

We can trust that God will not break His engagement.

John reminds us of this saying, ‘These are the true sayings of God’ ” , and it’s a cue that He wants you there.

✅📖 In preparing us for this feast, the Bible is full of love stories.

They are not fairy tales, but real stories that show us how deep God’s loves us.

Through these stories, we begin to see what salvation looks like and how far God is willing to go to save us.

🔑Marriage—out of all the relationships—is the one God uses most to describe His connection with us. (Pauser)

If we allow ourselves to see it through God’s eyes, marriage becomes more than just a bond between two people—it becomes a classroom. 🎓

And in that classroom, God teaches us about His love, His patience, and His power to redeem even what seems broken.

But here’s the problem…

Modern ideas about love and marriage have messed things up.

They’ve made it harder to understand what God is trying to show us.

Sin hasn’t just damaged people—it’s twisted our understanding of marriage.

But even in its brokenness, marriage can still teach us something.

So, don’t let this be just another video you scroll past.

God is calling you. He’s speaking through love, through heartbreak, and even through the story of a cheating spouse. 💔

So, If you’ve ever felt broken, betrayed, or unworthy—this is for you.

God still loves you. He hasn’t given up on you.

He’s inviting you to the greatest marriage celebration ever—the marriage supper of the Lamb. 💍

In fact, the Bible uses marriage to illustrate the bond that Jesus has with us humans.

What are some of the similarities between the bond of husband and wife and the bond between us humans and Jesus.

Read Genesis 2:23–25 and Ephesians 5:29–32.

THE GENESIS FOUNDATION

Part 2: One Flesh

We’re unlocking Bible prophecy 🔓 by looking at something very real, very raw… marriage, and in more detail marriage in the life of a cheating spouse.

Behind the pain, betrayal, and brokenness, there’s a message of hope, redemption, and love that God wants us to see.

So don’t click away—what you’re about to hear just might change the way you see God, yourself, and even your relationships.

🎤 Few pictures in the Bible show just how close God wants to be with us more than the picture of marriage.

In fact, this marriage theme runs all throughout the Bible—from Genesis to Revelation.

And it’s not just some old idea—it’s a 🔑 key piece of God’s love story with us.

If we want to understand Bible prophecy and God’s big plan, we’ve got to understand why He uses marriage to show it.

So, we start at the beginning

📖 Genesis 2:23–25

23 And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 

25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. (Genesis 2:23–25)

💬 Commentary: From the very beginning, God made marriage as something special, something beautiful.

It wasn’t just about love or companionship.

It was about becoming one—joined together with no shame, no hiding.

That’s the kind of closeness God wants with us.

📖 Notice what it says about marriage, equating it to the relationship between Christ and the church in Ephesians 5:29–32

29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 

30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 

31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 

32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (Ephesians 5:29-32)

💬  Paul reminds us that marriage is more than just two people—it’s a picture of Jesus and His people.

The way a husband is to care for his wife is a reflection of how Jesus takes care of us.

🔑 Thus, Marriage is not just a human contract.

It’s a divine symbol—a living prophecy—of God’s desire to be close to us.

🎤 Now here’s where it gets real.

One day, Jesus was talking to the Pharisees, and He quoted what we just read about marriage, the Genesis account of Adam and Eve’s marriage.

But they quickly shot back with a question that tried to trip Jesus up in📖 Matthew 19:7

“They said to Him, ‘Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?’ ” (Matthew 19:7)

💬 These religious leaders were trying to play Jesus against Moses.

They were constantly trying to prove that His teachings went against Mose’s teachings.

But they didn’t realize—they were questioning the very One who created marriage in the first place! (Pauoere)

  When we twist Gods Word to fit our own ideas, we miss the truth staring us right in the face.

You see, the original plan was always for a lifelong, faithful marriage.

That’s the model God set up for us.

🎤 But let’s be honest… humanity messed that up.

We live in a broken world. Divorce, cheating, betrayal—it’s all too common.

But that doesn’t change the beauty of God’s original gift of marriage.

🔑  Marriage and the Sabbath were the two gifts God gave us right from the beginning in the Garden of Eden.

Today, both are under attack.

Why? Because they both show how much God wants to have a close and intimate relationship with us.

Let’s be real: marriage isn’t easy. It brings two flawed people together.

There are struggles.

There are moments of disappointment.

But in that struggle, we see something powerful.

Marriage is when two people come together to live as one.

Since no one is perfect, there will always be times of stress or problems.

The Bible says that the church is like a bride, and Jesus is like the husband.

 But in this case, Jesus is perfect, and we, the church, are not.

Still, we can learn a lot about God’s love by looking at how a good marriage works

🎤 Though we are not perfect, Yet He still chooses us to be his bride.

That’s a love worth learning from.

That’s the kind of love that unlocks Bible Prophecy.

🔑Here are three gospel-based keys from this picture of marriage that can help us better understand God—and even help our own relationships:

1) Forgive your spouse, however undeservingjust like Christ forgives us.

📌 God doesn’t wait for us to be perfect. He loves and forgives first. That’s grace.

2) Accept your spousefaults and alljust like Christ accepts us.

📌 God doesn’t turn His back on us because of our flaws. He keeps loving through them.

3) Put your spouse before yourselfjust like Christ put us before Himself.

📌 Jesus gave up everything to bring us back to God. That’s the model of real love.

🎤 Now imagine what would happen if more marriages—and more individuals lived this way.

We’d stop being so quick to throw each other away.

We’d see each other through the eyes of grace, God’s Amazing grace.

And we’d finally understand why God keeps chasing after us—even when we mess up like a cheating spouse.

💔 Have you ever felt like you failed God?

Like you don’t deserve another chance?

Well, guess what?

You’re exactly the one He’s still reaching for.

Let me ask another question: Have you ever felt abandoned in a relationship?

Read Ezekiel 16 about an abandoned baby that is thrown in the field to die.

Notice what God does with this baby?

How does this make you feel about God?

(Lesson 2)

THE GENESIS FOUNDATION

Part 3: The Beautiful Bride

God described, ancient Israel, His chosen people, as an abandoned baby, left in a field to die.

This shows just how real, how raw, and how personal God’s love story for us humans get.

Noe, this message of love,  isn’t just about Israel—it’s about you.

And how God’s love can take someone  who has been rejected to a love that is true and fulfilling. 🔓

🎤 In Ezekiel 16, God paints a shocking and emotional picture.

He compares the nation of Israel to a baby girl thrown away—left to die alone in a field.

No one cared about her.

No one wanted her. But God did.

📖 Ezekiel 16:4-14 says:

4 As for your nativity, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt nor wrapped in swaddling cloths.

5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, when you yourself were loathed on the day you were born.

6 “And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’

7 I made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

8 “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord God.

9 “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil.

10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

11 I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck.

12 And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. (Ezekiel 16:4-12)

God takes the rejected and turns them into royalty.

🎤 Under God’s care, Israel became “exceedingly beautiful.”
Nobody else saw her value.

But God did.

💬 Her beauty was because of God’s love and blessings—not anything she did on her own.

📖 Ezekiel 16:13

13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and succeeded to royalty. (Ezekiel 16:13)

💬 God made her beautiful. Her fame, her influence—it was all because of Him.

This was true, when David and Solomon were kings of Israel, the nation was known for its great beauty and riches.

The queen of Sheba even traveled a long way just to see it with her own eyes!

But Israel’s beauty didn’t come from herself.

It was a gift from God.

She was special and well-known because she belonged to Him—like a bride belonging to her husband.

📖 Ezekiel 16:14

14 Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God. (Ezekiel 16:14)

🔑 Just like Israel, we are beautiful and valuable because God covers us with His splendor—but not because of anything we’ve done.

The Bible talks about this many times:

God’s bride is beautiful, not because of what she did, but because God gave her His love and made her that way.

In the same way, God sees us as beautiful—not because we earned it, but because He saved us and showed us His love and kindness.

📖 2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

💬 So, Our spiritual beauty is the righteousness of Jesus.

It’s not earned—it’s given.

🎤 But then comes the heartbreak
The story takes a painful turn in.

📖 Ezekiel 16:15

“But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it.” (Ezekiel 16:15)

💬 Israel forgot where her beauty came from.

She started believing she made herself valuable.

That pride led her away from God.

WARNING: Pride in our own goodness, talent, or status always leads us down a dangerous path.

🔑 : When we think we must earn God’s favor, we stop depending on His grace—and we start falling apart.

🎤 We were made to reflect God’s goodness—not to shine by our own light.
When we forget who gave us our shine, we open the door to trouble.

We fall for Satan’s lies.

We then start cheating on the God the one who truly loves.

🛑 So how do we guard our hearts against spiritual pride?

1) Remember where you came from.
We were nothing without God’s mercy.

Never forget how far He brought you.

2) Give God the credit.
If you’re doing well, it’s because God has poured His favor on you. (Pasuere)

3) Stay close to the Source.
Keep your eyes on Jesus, and don’t fall in love with your own reflection.

🎤Don’t trust in your looks, your knowledge, your good behavior, or your fame.

Trust in the One who picked you up when no one else would.

You are beautiful—not because of what you do—but because of what Jesus has done for you.

What can we learn about love, forgiveness, and grace from a husband who marries a prostitute? Read: Hosea 1:2; Hosea 3:1; Revelation 17:1, 2; and Revelation 18:1–4.

IMAGES FROM MARRIAGE

Part 4: Hosea’s Harlot Wife

If you have ever had your heart broken in a relationship, you know what it feels like?

The pain of betrayal?

God feels this same pain when we walk away from Him.

He uses the heartbreaking story of Hosea to help us understand just how much He loves us.

🎤 God’s request to Hosea may be the strangest assignment ever given to His servants:

He told Hosea to marry a harlot. On purpose!

Not because God was okay with sin, but because He wanted us to know what it feels like when we betray His love. 😢

🔑 Hosea’s story is God’s way of saying, “This is how I feel when My people cheat on Me.”

God had lovingly chosen a wife, Israel. But time and time again, she cheated on him. (Pauser)

She turned away from him and ran after other lovers—idols, false gods, and the ways of the world.

🎤 And yet—God still took her back and restored her as if she had never left.

🔑God’s people, Ancient Israel, weren’t just cheating—they totally turned their backs on Him.

By having Hosea live it, he was able teach the people with strong heart felt convictions what they were doing to their Creator.

 Hosea 1:2

“When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea: ‘Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry, for the land has committed great harlotry by departing from the Lord.’” ( Hosea 1:2)

🔑 Even after the betrayal, God still tells Hosea to take her back and love her.

🎤 This love story is not so much about Hosea as it is about God and our relationship with him.

Hosea 3:1

“Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.’”

(Hosea 3:1)

📖 How is this about us? Look at Revelation, the Book of end time prophesy: (Pasuewer)

Revelation 17:1-2 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,

2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

(Revelation 17:1–2)

This harlot represents spiritual betrayal, in which God’s end time people trade His truth for power, politics, wealth, possessions, fame, and false worship.

Revelation 18:1-41 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.

2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. (Revelation 18:1–4)

🔑 Commentary: 🎤 Notice God is not calling strangers—He’s calling His people.

And He’s pleading:

Come back before its everlasting too late.

The Bible shows us something shocking—

the sins Israel committed long ago are being repeated by the modern church of today.

Just like Israel of old, brought in worship practices and idols of the other nations, thinking it would fix their problems, God’s people of today takes the same approach.

The same thing is happening today.

There is the practice in the churches of mixing truth with error.

The church is seeking to blend in with or take on the practices of the world instead of standing apart from it.

Likewise, ancient Israel, God’s covenant people went a whoring after the god’s of the surrounding nations prior to their exile.

They took on the idolatrous practices of the neighboring nations into their covenant with God. (Pauser)

Arius was a presbyter (priest) of the church in Alexandria, Egypt, in the early 4th century. 

His teachings, were known as Arianism.

 He held that Jesus Christ was not coeternal with God the Father but rather a created being.

This view was condemned as heresy by the early church. 

📝Therefore, “Concerned over the growing rift within the church over Arius’s ideas, Constantine both convened and intervened in the Council of Nicaea.”

— Christopher A. Hall, “How Arianism Almost Won,” Christianity Today (2008)

to find “solutions” to what was  perceived as problems.

🎤 Over and over, God’s people tried to fix spiritual problems with worldly solutions—but it never works.

God didn’t just show us what we have done wrong in Hosea’s story.

He lets us know how this makes Him feels 💔

If you’ve ever been cheated on, you get it.

The deep hurt, the feeling of being kicked to the curb or tossed away is heart breaking.

That’s how God feels when we walk away from Him, even in small ways. (Pauser)

🎤 But the beauty of all is He STILL chases after us.

He STILL paid the price to win us back.

 The most amazing part of Hosea’s story is the lengths He went to buy back his adulterous wife.

But the most powerful picture of this love isn’t Hosea buying back Gomer.

It’s Jesus on the cross—arms stretched out, blood flowing, saying, “I want you back.”

God’s not looking for perfection. He wants your heart. ❤️

🔑 When we read the last warning in the Book of Revelation, we see God calling His own people to come out of Babylon.

They are not strangers, but people He knows and loves.

Even as the world heads into its darkest hour, God is still offering to save us.

 He has already paid the price with His own blood to buy us back.

The cross of Jesus shows us how much God really wants to save you, even though you may have gone the wrong way.

🎤 God’s calling you OUT of confusion, out of false systems, and back into a loving relationship with Him.

Dont wait. Accept His love now. Return to Him.

Abraham recognized the danger of His son marrying the daughters of worshippers of false god.

What did he do to try to stop it. Read Genesis 24:1-4

IMAGES FROM MARRIAGE

Part 5: Isaac and Rebekah

If you’ve ever felt distant from God or wondered how your daily choices really affect your walk with Him, keep watching.

One of the most powerful keys to unlocking Bible prophecy is found in a love story—between Isaac and Rebekah.

This is not just about a love story in ancient times. It’s about you, right now, and how God is still working to bring you into a closer relationship with Him. 💍

📖 When Abraham was old, he started thinking about God’s promises—the ones that said his family would grow like the stars in the sky in Genesis 15:5

5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” (Genesis 15:5)

 Abraham wasn’t just dreaming; he was preparing. And so, he called in the person he trusted the most—his oldest servant—and gave him the serious task of

 Finding a wife for my son, Isaac.

Genesis 24:1-4

1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. 

2 So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please, put your hand under my thigh, 

3 and I will make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; 

4 but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.” (Genesis 24:1–4)

Abraham wasn’t being picky for no reason. Neither was this about race or culture.

It was about keeping his son spiritually safe. Thus, this mission was spiritual, not ethnic; it was theological, not national.

Abraham knew the Canaanites worshiped false gods and lived in a way that pulled hearts away from the one true God.

Abraham had seen what happens when God’s people get involved with the Canaanites whose religious practices involved the worship of false gods.

Just like he had seen the others, he knew how easy it would be for his son to fall into the religious practices of the Canaanites if his son were to marry a Canaanite woman.

So, he sent his servant to find a wife from a place where the foundational  belief was rooted in the worship of the true God of Israel.

You see, too often, instead of influencing the world, God’s people are influenced by the world.

We’re called to be a light—but if we’re not careful, we end up dimming our light to fit in.

One of the biggest examples of God’s people blending in with the world is how Sunday, a pagan day honoring the sun, replaced the biblical seventh-day Sabbath that God made holy according to Genesis 2:2–3 and Exodus 20:8–11.

🎤 This change wasn’t God’s idea—it was the world’s.

And it’s going to matter a lot in the days to come.

Notice in Genesis 24:57– 67 about how Rebekah responded to the invitation to leave her family and take Isaac as her husband.

58 Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”

59 So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men. And she said, ‘I will go.’ …

67 Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. (Genesis 24:57– 67)

 Rebekah had never met Isaac, but when the call came, she said yes. 🎤 That’s faith. That’s love. And that’s a picture of Christ and His people.

Just like Rebekah, we are separated from our Groom—Jesus.

We were made in His image, but sin separated us from Him 💔

Still, God says you are the bride for me, “You are the one I choose.”

🎤 Even with your flaws. Even with your past. He still wants you.

But just like in marriage, love is a choice. Every day, we can make decisions that build our love for God—or we can make choices that slowly destroy it.

God loves us, His bride, more than we love Him.

There are choices we can make—every day that can strengthen our love for God?

At the same time, there are also choices we can make that deaden our love for Him.

🔑 Choosing prayer, Bible study, obedience, and time with God strengthens our relationship with Him.

On the other hand, choosing distraction, compromise, and disobedience pulls us further away.

You are the bride, Jesus loves. 💖 He’s preparing a place for you. But this relationship only grows if you say yes, every day.

Say yes with your time.

Say yes with your choices.

Say yes with your heart. 🎤 Don’t let the world steal your love. Choose Jesus—He has already chosen you.

After a life of unfaithfulness, you may feel you have gone beyond the point of no return. But have you?

Part 6: The Harlot is Judged

Have you ever wondered how a story filled with betrayal, heartbreak, and pain can still end in celebration, joy, and restoration?

From the Heart of a Broken Marriage is a powerful picture of love, justice, and hope points us straight to Jesus. (Pauoere)

This love story is threaded throughout the Bible. And it is celebrated in the final book Revelation.

Revelation 19:1-9 reveals a moment in prophecy in which two things are happening at the same time:

🎤 The fall of the harlot (false religion and rebellion)

And the marriage of Christ to His faithful church.

1 After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! 2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”  

6 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! 

7 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.” …

9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”— Revelation 19:1–9, NKJV

It might seem strange to celebrate both, the fall of the harlot, false religion and the marriage of Christ to His true church, but they show God’s justice and love working hand in hand.

💔 Infidelity always comes with a price.  This price is not just a cost to those directly involved. This price extends to the Children and others as well.

In a marriage that involves infidelity, trust is shattered.

🎤 In fact, even the most patient and forgiving spouse that is persistently wronged may one day wake up and come to a moment of no return and conclude this is something that can’t be fixed.

That’s the same with our world. There will come a time very soon when hearts are so hardened that repentance is no longer possible.

A time will come when there is no point in letting history continue the pain and suffering caused by sin to go on forever.

That’s the point when Jesus says: Enough is Enough!

No more sin. No more sorrow. No more pain.

The fact of the matter is: the story of this broken world must end so that healing can begin.

🎤 And even though there’s sadness and heartbreak over those who are lost, there will be great rejoicing because the nightmare of sin will be finally over.

It is then that they realize once and for all that God is right.

This is the point when there will never be a turning away from God, because we have then learned that being separated from Him only brings heartache, pain, destruction, and pure devastation.

📖 What do this reunion and new beginning look like?

Revelation 21:1-4 tells us.

1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:1–4)

The bride—God’s people—is finally home.

🎤 This is a marriage without pain, betrayal, disrespect, cheating. It is a marriage of forever love, peace, harmony and eternity with Jesus.

📝 Ellen G. White puts it beautifully:

🎤 “Marriage, a union for life, is a symbol of the union between Christ and His church. The spirit that Christ manifests toward the church is the spirit that husband and wife are to manifest toward each other.” — Testimonies for the Church, vol. 7, p. 46

🔑 This means your marriage, your love, and your commitment matters —not just in this world. God designed it to be a representation of something beautiful, something eternal. It was designed to be a representation of our relationship with him.

🎤 Jesus gave everything—even when we turned our backs on Him.

He suffered rejection and watched us give our hearts to other gods, other priorities, other things, other loves.

And still, in paying for our unfaithfulness, our adulteries, He gave Himself for us so that, if we repent and turn away from them, we have the promise of eternal life. He wants you as His bride. ❤️

📖What did it cost Him:

I Peter 1:18-19

18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 

19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. (1 Peter 1:18–19),

You were bought—not with money, but with the blood of Jesus.

🎤 His blood is that down payment on your eternity.

That’s how serious He is about saving you.

The marriage of the Lamb is real—and the invitations have gone out.

Will you say yes?

Will you turn away from the things that pull you from His love?

🎤 Jesus already paid the price. He’s waiting at the altar.

Want you to come to Him and be His bride?

Make the commitment now to be ready when the celebration begins. 💍(Paourer)
