The Bride of Christ

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. set: Heb. anointed upon...: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness - Psalms 2:6

    Though the true church of the living God is but little esteemed in the religious world, the bride of Christ is most glorious in the eyes of God. It is the object of his love and affections. It is the place of his abode here on this earth, and it is through and in his church that he saves, comforts and assures the hearts of his people. The church is not an organization, it is a living spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and very life. Its members are those whom God has chosen, Christ has redeemed, called and glorified in himself.

    The Lord Jesus Christ, having pleased the Father and being exalted in glory, exalts his church with him and in Him. In Christ, the church is holy and without spot of sin. The Lord Jesus Christ is head over all things to the church. There is no more noble, honorable, exalted position than being an inhabitant of Zion because that is where Christ dwells. The God given knowledge of this wondrous truth causes the Spirit to soar to heavenly heights and at the same time humbles the heart to grateful submission before the King in the midst of Zion.
