Publisher's Synopsis
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:23, 24) For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God. (Romans 2: 28, 29) In order to be prepared to meet our God and take our place with the heavenly bridegroom, we must never forget that we are the bride of Christ. Let us not allow earthly concerns to distract us from that high and heavenly calling. In the parable of the virgins, when the bridegroom finally came, "they that were ready went in with Him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut" (Matthew 25:10). When this event takes place in actuality at the second coming, how many who now make up the bride of Christ will find themselves on the outside? "Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb" (Rev. 19:9). Let us make sure we are among that number. Are you a bridge or concubine?
