To Be A Bride: To Make Herself Ready

By E Frank Hagen

Over the last 50 years many have forgotten that the church is the bride of Christ. In the same manner as a man and woman would come out of the world around them when engaged, we as the bride of Christ should come out of this world around us and live for our Lord, as his betrothed (engaged) until we come to the marital alter to become the bride and enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb. This requires a walk down a straight and narrow aisle in humility and obedience, being led by the Spirit of God (Holy Ghost) in faith and works, love and fear, accepting the blessings of our Lord, while being obedient unto every word of God.It's harder for men to be the bride of Christ as it requires living in this world as men, and yet living spiritually as his betrothed, as eunuchs in a spiritual sense, and as Esther, wanting only what Hegai, the keeper of the women appoints, so he might guide his family in a manner which pleases the Lord. Since men are created as a type and shadow of Jesus, and women are created as a type and shadow of his bride, the humility and authority make a harder contrast to obtain than for women. Since they need only live as the bride of Christ to glorify Jesus, their role is actually easier and glorifies Jesus more in femininity and subjection than when they try to be as men.This book will be written in a manner just as speaking and not using scriptures as in my teaching books. (Should I Veil, To Live As A Nun, The Ordinances Of God Without Contradiction, etc...) I'll mention scriptures and maybe even insert them so the reader can look them up, but most familiar with Christianity should know which ones I refer to, such as above with Esther desiring what Hegai appointed, Esther 2: 15.It is my hope that the reader can get a picture of a bride entering the assembly to be married, washed from her sins, and in white attire, to make a commitment unto her Lord who waits at the alter, even though the vows of this life show a commitment to how a couple will live, and remember that when we get to the marital alter or judgment seat, our life will have shown if we kept the vows through our life unto our Lord.This book is not be used for any form of counselling or guidance. It is merely the part of the original oracles and ordinance the Lord gave the church which have not been taught in the last 50 - 70 years. The use of scripture is used in the author's other books. This one is merely printed as one would speak using scripture without book and verse quotes such as for teaching.The object of this book is to show how we as the bride of Christ should live to please our Betrothed, Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, as we walk towards the marital alter.The author makes no profit from his books as all royalties are given to others in need.All references are from the King James Bible.May God bless.
