When we covenant with Jesus by water baptism taking on His name, it is not simply a religious experience, it is a relationship. Jesus promises with our covenant with Him that He will fill us with His Spirit, and our new life together begins. (Acts 2:38)

"I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine..." - Song of Songs 6:3

Just as when we marry our spouse, we face together with Jesus the trials and tribulations of life, the good times and the lean times. In our commitment to each other, we remain true and faithful and our relationship grows stronger. (Ephesians 5:22-32)

Apostle Paul said, in everything we do and go through, we show we are faithful, true partners with God, supplied with His armour, His power working in us through trials and tribulations, coming close to death, yet still alive, no matter what we go through having the joy of the Lord, as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. (2Corinthians 6:1-10)

"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready." - Revelation 19:7 (John 1:29, John 3:28-30, Ephesians 5:22-32, 2Corinthians 11:2)
