Text says: 2 Corinthians 11:1-2







Word Title: The glory that God’s Church, the Bride of Christ, will receive after the Rapture.







        The Apostle Paul testified that he did not learn the gospel of Christ from others, but received it directly from the Lord:







¶ For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. (1 Corinthians 11:23-25 KJV)







       The apostle Paul testified of the gospel of Christ:







¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16 KJV)







      He also testified of the gospel of Christ, which is the power of God for the salvation of all who believe:







¶ Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: (1 Corinthians 15:1-5 KJV)







        He then witnessed of a very important and mysterious fact to Christians who believed in the gospel of Christ he preached and were saved:







¶ Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 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. (2 Corinthians 11:1-2 KJV)







        The apostle Paul testified to the saints of Corinthian church that Gentile believers in Christ had been saved by receiving the Spirit of Christ, and that he felt reverential jealousy before a mysterious truth unimaginable to a Jew as himself. In other words, he testified to this great mystery of how they were betrothed to the Lord Jesus Christ.







         He testified that Christians who believed in the gospel of Christ and were born again of the Holy Spirit, whether Jews or Gentiles, became not only God’s children but also betrothed brides to Christ, God’s only begotten Son, forming the Church of God. Because of this, he testified, Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: (1 Corinthians 10:32 KJV)







        The Apostle Paul also commanded his spiritual son Timothy two very important missions before he passed away. The first is to spread the word about the Day of Christ when Christ comes to take the Church of God, His bride, the Rapture day and the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, where Christ will rule the whole world with His bride, the Church of God:







¶ I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and...
