How do we know Jesus is the bridegroom of the church?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture consistently identifies Jesus as the bridegroom, highlighting His covenant relationship with the church.

Various passages of Scripture refer to Jesus as the bridegroom, most prominently in Matthew 9:15 where He states, 'The days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.' In John 3:29, John the Baptist specifically identifies Jesus as the bridegroom, asserting His preeminence in this relationship. The consistent use of bridegroom language throughout the Bible underscores the significance of Jesus’ role in the establishment of the new covenant, where believers are united with Him through faith. This covenant echoes the ancient customs of marriage, wherein the bridegroom's choice and love are paramount, illustrating that our reconciliation with Christ is not based on our merit but entirely on His divine initiative and love.
