The concept of buying a bride may be quite foreign in our country today. But, in many countries, even some of my blog readers may have experienced or know this concept from real life experiences. This practice is still seen in parts of Asia, Africa and a few other countries today. The Bride Price custom involves the groom paying an amount of money for the Bride to the Father. A friend I work with from Ghana stated to me recently; "If he really loves the Bride he will also lavish gifts upon her."
Dear friend, this a beautiful example of what our King Jesus did for us.
Jesus paid that BRIDE PRICE when he died for each one of us.
We were purchased by the Price of Jesus` Life, for our Life, (Eternal Life). Jesus was obedient to the Father, and willingly laid down His life for us. (Paying the bride price to the Father)
This is a purchase that causes us to be His Bride, when we accept His Love and become One with Him, in heart acceptance of surrendering our lives to the Groom, Jesus.
Not only did He die for our sins but He lavished us with the gifts of His Spirit to show us how GREAT His love is for us.
Rom. 5:
6 While we were still helpless [powerless to provide for our salvation], at the right time Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly. 7 Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to willingly give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a good man [one who is noble and selfless and worthy] someone might even dare to die. 8 But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Therefore, since we have now been justified [declared free of the guilt of sin] by His blood, [how much more certain is it that] we will be saved from the wrath of God through Him. Amplified
Dear Yeshua , Jesus, My Groom, I surrender my life to you. Just as you gave your life for ME, I give you back MY life, heart, and mind. I ask for you to come into MY life, restore and renew me.
Holy Spirit, I ask to hear your voice, and that I would walk in the path that follows the Shepherd, the Groom, Jesus. I want to be your little lamb, that comes when my Master, Shepherd calls. Amen
