NOTE

Divine Love and Human Unfaithfulness

The Old Testament presents a narrative of God as a loving husband experiencing a crisis due to Israel's unfaithfulness. This dynamic highlights the fundamental issue of a holy God coexisting with sinful people, a theme pervasive throughout the Old Testament. Jesus emerges as the divine bridegroom, claiming a unique relationship with humanity reminiscent of God's covenant with Israel. This metaphor of marriage is further developed in the New Testament, especially in Ephesians, where Christian marriage symbolizes the profound love of Christ for his church. The culmination of this divine-human relationship is celebrated in Revelation, signifying the ultimate union of heaven and earth through the marriage of the Lamb.
