Defining Bridal Intimacy: Knowing (Burning Hearts Gathering 5/16/12)

Posted by Tim

Part 6 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

As we continue to look at our identity as the Bride of Christ, and what it tells us about what love looks like and what “intimacy with God” really means, this message looks at the central element of true intimacy: knowing God and being known by God.

Our hearts have a deep desire not just to be appreciated or treated well or felt warmly about, but to be truly known and understood for who we are and how our heart works. We feel that way because God feels that way – He’s looking for that kind of love and He wants to give us that kind of love. And that changes our approach to the Scriptures, to prayer, and to life.

Part 5 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

We’re continuing to look at the revelation of the Bride of Christ, specifically beginning to look at what it tells us about what love looks like of the sort that God gives and desires, and our heart requires. Defining what “intimacy with God” actually looks like lets us actually begin to live a life of experiencing it, not just hearing about it or longing for it. We’re going to look at three elements of what bridal intimacy looks like in the next few weeks. This week, it’s to desire, to be followed by to know and to cherish.

Part 4 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

As we continue to look at the pictures God gives of how He relates to us, we move this week to the Bride of Christ. God relates all of redemption’s story to us as a King preparing a wedding for His Son. And in then that picture, we find God’s motivation in all He is doing, and we find the meaning of our days here on earth and what destination we should be aiming for at the end of them. As the Father prepares for His Son a Bride made ready in love.
