The idea of a body perfectly free from blemish, typical of a soul perfectly delivered from sin, is emphasized in the Bible. Christ gave himself to make the church holy through the baptism of his Word, making it an altogether glorious Church in His eyes. This concept is particularly relevant on the wedding day, where a bride seeks to look her absolute best for her husband. Christ wants the church to present itself to Himself as a glorious church, without spots, wrinkles, or any such thing, but holy and without blemish.
The text emphasizes that the church should be free from impurity from any sin or wrinkle, and that it should be holy and blameless. Husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. To get photos from guests, QR codes can be displayed on signage at events.
The text also discusses the importance of accepting that their spouse is odd, which is a humorous marriage advice for newlyweds. It encourages couples to become more at ease with one another when they marry. Additionally, the text provides a list of free digital wedding invitations, including those labeled “Free” by Evite, 100 Free Online Wedding Invitations by Punchbowl, Custom Online Wedding Invitations by Wedinvite, Digital Invitations by Paperless Post, and Custom Online Save the Dates by Paperless Post.
The text also discusses the concept of being free from the spots and blemishes of sin, as well as the metaphor of a bride alive in love, fascinated by the Spirit and Word, and bearing fruit. The text concludes by calling believers to join her in praying for the church to become the bride Christ desires.

Was Jesus without spot or blemish?
He wants to present himself a glorious church, without any flaws.
God set him up as a sacrifice through his blood to show how he can forgive sins.
Also, his followers didn’t recognize him after he came back to life. Christ was more marred than any man (Isaiah 52:14), but when He appeared again, He would not have been in this transfigured state… or they might have recognized Him. He appeared in another form and had to open their eyes to who He was.
What does Ephesians 5 verse 27 mean?
This sermon traces God’s plan to choose a holy people from before the world began. They would be Christ’s spotless bride. We start by looking at the word “present” in the New Testament. Our verse says that Christ will present a glorious church to Himself. The bride is not preparing herself or her family. Instead, Christ prepares her and presents her to Himself. This shows that God’s work is for His glory. The bride will be perfect because of God’s work. “Holy and blameless” in Ephesians 5:27 repeats the phrase from Ephesians 1:4, creating brackets for the material in between. We show how God’s plan to have a holy and blameless people from all eternity is carried out in Ephesians 1-5. This means making dead sinners alive. God makes dead sinners alive and puts them into His church. This church is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ as the cornerstone. God perfects His church for the praise of His glory. The sermon explains how this is explained in Ephesians 1:4-5:27. Ephesians teaches us about the church and its members. It goes from the past to the future. God takes sinners and makes them pure and glorious as Christ’s bride. We say this is for God’s glory.
How does the Bible describe a bride?
In Christian theology, the bride is the church, with Jesus as the bridegroom. Ephesians 5:22–33 compares the union of husband and wife to that of Christ and the church. It is a favorite image in the church. Churches interpret the metaphors differently. Most believe it always refers to the church.

Is Jesus coming back for a spotless bride?
God will judge the House of God first. He is coming back for His Church. Some will lose, but God will favor His Church. “Judge me, Lord, and make me righteous,” said Pastor Melton. “The world blames the virus on the Church. How could that be? The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD helps them. The Church carries burdens, but it is better to swap them out with the burden of soul-winning. In hard times, I learn through persecution. I am Christ’s bride. He protects me! The devil is a “paper tiger.” When he roars, Jesus stands up and our Lion of Judah roars back! Be alert, the enemy is coming for the Church. Stay in God’s hands. No one can take us out of God’s hand! Don’t lose hope. Stay in touch with Him. Look up! He cares!

This is the best movie of them all, Ekene, Mwaa, in the movie needs to win the silver and gold award. Ms. Pamela and Nana also need some awards of recognition. I also love Grace the singer. This movie is the best because it portrayed Jesus and the truth to always prevail, the good always prevail over wickedness. It also portrays that what God can’t do does not exist. To God be all the honor, adorations, praise, and glory 🙏🏿. perusal from New Jersey,USA.

The lawyer who ran away to the fear of poverty should be back in sene with regrets.

I literally cried while perusal this movie, it also shows us what people with disabilities go through in the world especially if they don’t have money or come from powerful families. It also teaches us to be kind to people with disabilities and show them love because that all they need from people around them. Thank you so much Ekene for this amazing and educational film. Most importantly it shows us that God is always by our side and he is the God of the 11th hour, when all hope is lost he will work miraculously . 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
You are so awesome! God is awesome! Love your way of explaining everything. Makes so much sense without all the extra stuff that man has added over the years. God led me to you for a reason and that reason was my lost soul. Thank you Monica for opening my eyes and heart to the actual literal word. Bless your heart
When I was researching the word Offence, or offended, I found that it was from the greek word “scandal”, it also means to stumble or be offended, to even fall into apostasy. Jesus warned John the Baptist using the same word, “blessed is he who is not offended in Me.” The Lord is warning us that sometimes the way God dose things could cause us to be offended, because the image we have of God is distorted in our hearts. We need to be in the Word more and get to know whom we serve. Prayerfully!
It’s interesting, the Lord recently gave us a word, and He said, “Remove all offence”. He was specifically speaking about the offence that we would feel towards Him in reference to all the things that would take place in the times ahead. Matthew 24:10 and then shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another. KJV It’s interesting that the king james says that they will be “offended” check out the actual greek for that word, it’s the same word used for offended.
