THE BRIDE OF CHRIST ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN "CALLED" BY GOD TO ENTER INTO A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP OF DISCIPLESHIP WITH JESUS CHRST THROUGH BELIEF THAT GOD SENT JESUS TO DIE IN THEIR PLACE FOR THEIR SINS AND THAT HE WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD, AND IS NOW SEATED IN HEAVEN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.
THESE PEOPLE ALL TOGETHER FORM WHAT IS CALLED "THE WORLD WIDE CHURCH" UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE HIGH PRIEST JESUS CHRIST WHO IS SUBJECT TO GOD ALONE.
THE BRIDE OF CHRST ARE BELIEVERS OF THE CHURCH WHO HAVE BEEN "CHOSEN" BY GOD TO WALK IN SPIRITUAL MATURITY. THESE SPIRITUALY MATURE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD HAVE LEARNED TO GROW AND BECOME DISCIPLINED IN LOVE, HOPE, FAITH, TRUTH, PURITY FORGIVNESS,CHARITY, ETC, FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS CHRIST, FROM BEING WASHED CLEANED (RENEWING THEIR MIND) WITH THE LIVING WORDS OF GOD GIVEN BY JESUS CHRIST.
FUTHERMORE, THE BRIDE HAVE BEGUN TO CREATE A SYNERGY/ONENESS BETWEEN GOD THE FATHER, THE SPIRIT OF THE SON (HOLY SPIRIT & WORD), AND THEMSELF. THEY HAVE OFFERED THEIR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE TO BECOME A TEMPLE OF GOD IN THE EARTH. THEY ARE ENDOWED WITH SPIRITUAL GIFTS, FRUIT, AND MINDSET OF GOD TO DO THE WORKS OF GOD IN THE EARTH, AS GOD IS LEADING THEM.
HERE IS WISDOM..SALVATION IS ACHIEVED THROUGH CONFESSION, BELIEF, AND RECIEVING JESUS AS LORD. HOWEVER, SALVATION IS ONLY A PROMISE FROM GOD THAT IF YOU ENDURE (MAINTAIN BELIEVE/FAITH) AFTER THE TRIAL AND TRIBULATIONS COME, THE PERSON SHALL BE SAVED
IN ADDITION, AFTER CONFESSING THE "PRAYER OF SAVATION", IF THE PERSON HAS NOT IMMEDIATELY BEEN CALLED HOME TO BE WITH GOD IN HEAVEN, WHILE THEY REMAIN HERE ON EARTH THEIR CONFESSION OF BELIEF IN JESUS AS LORD, MEANS THEY ARE TO OBEY JESUS AND HIS WORD, AND BEGIN TO FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS, BEGINNING WITH REPENTENCE, THEN BAPTISM, THEN INVIITING GOD SPIRIT WITHIN, SO THAT GOD CAN EQUIP THEM TO REMAIN STEADFAST ON THEIR JOURNEY OF SPRITIUAL MATURITY. GOD WILL TEACH THEM HOW TO OVERCOME THE TRIALS, TEMPATION. AND TRIBULATION THAT COMES FROM MATURING IN LIFE (BOTH IN THE NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL REALM), WHICH WILL PREPARE THEM TO ENDURE THESE TIMES, UNTIL THEY ARE CALLED HOME TO GOD, AND/OR UNTIL GOD SENDS JESUS FOR HIS "CHURCH" (ALL BELIEVERS IN JESUS, WHICH INCLUDES 12,000 PEOPLE FROM EACH TRIBE OF "ISRAEL").
BOTTOMLINE, IF YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN ON THE ROLE OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, THEN YOU SHOULD QUESTION YOUR SALVATION!. SALVATION IS NOT PREDICATED UPON YOUR GOOD WORKS/PRATICES , WHICH MEANS IF YOUR ONLY DOING TO PLEASE MEN AND/OR GOD SO THINGS CAN LOOK GOOD IN YOUR SPIRITUAL RESUME, THATS WRONG MOTIVE. IF YOU DO, THEN SEEK UNDERSTAIND OF WHY YOU DO, AND THIS WILL HELP YOU BECOME SPIRTUALLY MATURE AND DEVELOP A GENUINE HEART FOR WHY YOU DO. "NOT ALL WHO SAYS TO JESUS, LORD! LORD! WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN" SCRIPTURE "MATTHEW 7:21-23". AMEN!
THE BRIDE/CHURCH OF PURE RELIGION, WILL BE INVITED TO ATTEND THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB OF GOD, iN JEWISH CULTURE THE MARRIAGE FEAST SHALL COMMENCE FOR ONE WEEK (7 DAYS). IN ESSENCE THESE 7 DAYS IN HEAVEN WILL BE THE CULMINATION OF A SEVEN YEAR PERIOD HERE ON EARTH SIMULTANEOUSLY. MATTHEW 24 EXPLAINS THE BEGINING OF WHAT THE COMING TIME PERIOD WILL APPEAR LIKE, THIS IS CALLED THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. THOSE WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REPENT OF THEIR SINS, YET IF THEY ARE NOT KILLED FOR THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO GOD/JESUS AT THE TIME, BY THE DEVIL/SATAN/BEAST, THEY WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO ENDURE UNTIL THE THIRD RETURN OF JESUS AND WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF JESUS'S MILLENIAL REIGN HERE ON EARTH FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS.
TO BE CLEAR, THE BRIDE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE PREPARED THEMSELVES BY OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD. THESE WILL BE CALLED OUT OF EARTH TO HEAVEN TO BE BETROTHED TO JESUS CHRIST. THERE IS MUCH CONFUSION ABOUT WHEN THEN TIME PERIOD WILL BE OR IF IT WILL BE. SOME BELIEVE THE BRIDE WILL HAVE TO ENDURE THE PERIOD OF TRIBULATION, BUT THE HOLY BIBLE DOED NOT REFERENCE THE BRIDE IN RELATION TO THE END TIME TRIBULATION. THE STORY OF THE BRIDE IS HIDDEN WITHIN THE STORY LINE OF A JEWISH COURTING, WEDDING, AND WEDDING FEAST.
PLEASE NOTE GOD LEAVES NO ONE BEHIND. THE UNINVITED ARE THOSE WHO WERE UNPREPARED TO ENTER HEAVEN TO ATTEND THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB AT THE APPOINTED TIME. PLEASE NOTE THE BOOK OF MATHEW 24, LUKE 12,17, & 21, AND MARK 13 SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO THE UNINVTED CHURCH THAT WILL BE HERE ON EARTH DURING THE 7 YEARS OF TRIBULATION. GOD WILL ANOINT PEOPLE TO BE HIS WITNESSES DURING THIS TIME,. THE PERIOD OF TIME WILL NOT TAKE KINDLY TO BELIEVERS OF JESUS, THE KEY IS TO REMEBER TO ENDURE UNTIL THE THIRD COMING OF JESUS CHRIST
BE READY CHURCH, AMEN!

THE CHURCH FOR JESUS
"WE ARE MORE THAN BELIEVERS....WE ARE ONE"
To see all people become whole, healthy, and mature in their soul, body, and spirit, through living for the glory of God in Christ Jesus, fueled by love for God, neighbor and self, until we all reflect the example of God in the person of Jesus Christ.
To offer to the people Gods Holy Living word, witness, and resources as God sees fit, and as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, in order to equip the people to develop good habits/routines, that will create the mindset to develop the lifestyle choices, that will lead to living a full and whole life as God intended, because they have learned to hear from God and be led by His Holy Spirit, amen!
STEP ONE: SALVATION
STEP 1. Get ready to begin again...wipe the slate clean, also known as being "SAVED"!
...Simply put, SALVATION / being SAVED is a gift from God. A person can receive Gods gift of salvation because of Gods grace (unmerited favor), through Faith, anf not of works.
The formula for Salvation is Confess + Believe + Receive!
a. You are to Confess Jesus is invited to be Lord of your life, then become baptized in water as a public confession of your Faith.
b. You are to Believe that God sent Jesus Christ to die in your place, because of your Sin towards God. You must also Believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and He is now seated in Heaven at the right hand of God.
c. When you ask for Gods Holy Spirit to come and dwell within you (yes His Spirit), as you Receive His Spirit, God will make you Righteous, from no effort of your own. Also, as God comes into your heart / spirit, He will renew your true spiritual self.
NOW WHAT?
FROM LAW TO FAITH!
STEP 2. During this step we learn to live out our SALVATION, through developing the mindset of Salvation. At this stage we are to seek to fully understand what's actually happening to us and why.
a. The what? The What, is we have become spiritual born again / a new creation, ready to mature and reflect the nature of God.
b. The why? To become one with God and Jesus.
The process of learning to transition from Law to Faith begins with developing God-like habits a.k.a. renewing your mind. The new habits / mindset are learned through participating in things that God has instituted i.e., praying, giving, serving, helping, worship, fasting, being still with God, seeking God, learning to listen to God, discovering your God given spiritual gift(s) and cultivating them, etc.
The process of learning these steps is referred to as "Obeying the Law of God." The Law of God a.k.a the habitual steps to leaning Gods way, despite popluar belief, has not been done away with. Jesus Christ reveals to us, the Law of God has been fulfilled, which means a person no longer has to follow religious steps without understanding its purpose.
The purpose of Gods Law is to reveal to us how to increase our Faith to become more like God /Jesus which leads to LOVE! You are to practice Gods Law of serving, giving, tithing, seeking, praying, etc, UNTIL we have developed the mindset of Faith to LOVE God, others, and yourself.
Bottomline, God through Christ Jesus a.k.a the word of God, has created us as He is. We are created in Gods image and likeness. The act of "Salvation" transitions us from Gods image to learning how to walk in the fullness of God spirit, after we have invited His spirit to dwell within us.
We must complete all the steps to understand and develop the mindset of the new person / new creation God is molding you into. Without Salvation the person will continue to behave, speak, and respond as others who are carnal / worldly minded, because they are influenced by the devil / satan, instead of being influenced by God.

DISCIPLESHIP!
STEP 3. At this state we learn to put steps #1 & #2 together. After, learning the steps of renewing our mind, next we must begin to apply what you have learned. Faith and change, hope and renewal, will be enforced through hearing Gods inspired word and application, and this is where discipleship comes in. Discipleship is when a person(s) who is appointed / chosen by God through Jesus Christ, will bear witness to and be an example of Gods/Christ spirit now dwelling within the new believer /follower of Christ. The Discipler will share with you how to apply the Laws of God. They will also teach you how to discern when the practice of the law will eventually turn into Love. The discipler will also explain how to hear from and be led by Gods spirit amongst other things. You will also be encourage to particpate in small groups with other believer/followers of Jesus, to help sharpen one another for growth.
