September 10 – Eternal Marriage to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:2 “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

The New Testament teaches in-depth concepts about eternal marriage, just not the Mormon version of it. This marriage union is between Christ, who is the Bridegroom, and His collective body of believers, who is the bride; aka Christians. Consider what it says in Revelation 19:7 “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.”
Ask the Mormon why they wouldn’t want to be eternally ‘sealed’ to Christ. Why would they choose to be sealed to another human for eternity, and not the Lord?
