Relationship Highlights

The Marriage sealed: 

A crucial point to note is that Jewish betrothal was vastly different from engagement in modern terms. Whilst modern English translations of the Bible might use the term ‘engagement,’ and in doing so suggest a promise to be married in the future, the Jewish betrothal was a legally binding agreement that could only be broken by divorce. Essentially then betrothal sealed the marriage. The couple would not be living together, but they were legally married.  

Those of us who accept the gift of eternal life, are saying in their decision for Jesus - “I do,” and they become not only a bride waiting for Christ’s return, but in that very moment joined to Jesus. They are immediately reborn, an entirely new creation alive in the spirit, sealed and seated with Christ in heavenly places. 

But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace! He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ! 

Ephesians 2:4-6 (TPT)
