Love Letters to the Bride

In the beginning God created Adam and placed him in the garden. God said it was not good for him to be alone so he created a suitable helpmate for him called Eve. When Adam saw her he was amazed and said for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and the two shall be one flesh. From eternity past God the Father had a dream for his Son, Jesus, that he too would not be alone, but would have a bride suitable for him. For this reason Jesus left his Father in heaven to come to earth to betroth us to himself and pay the bridal price with his own blood redeeming us on the cross. As part of this betrothal he gave us the new covenant written in Scripture and collected in a section of this book as his Bridegroom’s Love Letter to us as the church. It is an invitation to each one of us to be his radiant bride and live with him forever in wedded bliss.
