The Bible uses the idea of a bride to describe the church’s relationship with Christ, but it’s not actually talking about marriage as we know it. Instead, it’s about the close, loving bond between Jesus and His followers. The Hebrew word '''לקח (laqach)''', which means "to take" or "to marry," also means "teaching" or "doctrine." This reveals that what the Bible describes as "marriage" is deeply connected to the concept of learning and being transformed through teaching. | The Bible uses the idea of a bride to describe the church’s relationship with Christ, but it’s not actually talking about marriage as we know it.
