John 17:22-23
Excerpted from: The Eternal Privileges of the Bride

Please turn to John 17, verse 22. The moment a woman becomes a man's bride, she shares his privileges, and whatever they are, she becomes a participant in them and a sharer of them, and this is also true of the church.

What do we have in common? We share the Father's love. It is truly remarkable.

This statement affirms that God the Father has loved us as He loves His Son. It means that because of our connection to Christ, we share the same relationship with God, not fully, but we are being trained for it.

And what did Christ say about the Father's relationship? That the world may may know that You have loved them as You have loved Me. That is the privilege. It works this way: it gives us access to the Father through Christ. A father is always willing to receive the bride of his son. She did not have that access to him before; there was no relationship. But once she married the son or becomes betrothed to him, she gains a legal and personal right to entry into the presence of the father, which is not completed until the marriage supper.

Now just as a father is ready to welcome his son and grant him privileges that he would not give to his most trusted employees, he now grants those privileges to the bride because she is his son's wife.

The saints have a right of entry and of access into the presence of the Father and Jesus Christ the Bridegroom. He will always listen to the bride of the Son if asked according to His will.

So there is no higher privilege than that He loves us as He loves His Son. We should remember this before we pray. As we become aware of what we are doing and who we are, we should not forget the rights and privileges that are and will be given to us as Christ's bride.
