1. The goal of regeneration is to produce and prepare the bride for the Bridgeroom (He who has the bride is the bridegroom, John 3:3-6)
2. Only after we have been regenerated with the divine life and have thereby received the divine nature can we, sinners, be taken by Christ to be His love.
3. If there is no romance between us and the Lord Jesus, then we are religious Christians, not romantic Christians.
4. In John 14:23, the Father and Son making an abode with the one who loves the Lord Jesus is a reference to living together in married life.
5. When God gave the law to His people on the mountain, He was betrothing them to Himself. In giving them the law, He was seeking to stir them up to love Him and not to have any other beloved in addition to Him.
6. Since the law was given as an engagement contract, we should not try to keep it apart from loving the Lord and being one with Him.
