There must come a time in the plan of God when the bride is no longer motivated by how she was raised, trained, or taught, for to go into this family she must have the family spirit (adoption; trained to live in the family of God) and take on the nature of her lover.
There is not one thing that can be brought into that family which will enhance its importance.
Until this miracle takes place and her love becomes pure for her lover, motivated only by Him, it is more than likely to be steps of progression bringing her to that place.
We see the church being led from one truth to another to bring it into the fullness of Christ. God's plan for everything to begin with a lamb, slain before the world ever began, and calls for all things to be things to be consummated in that lamb in the end. God will use use these very steps doctrinally, progressively bringing us into the fullness of Christ.
In the meantime, He will reach us as He did those in the past by the reformation truth of Martin Luther, that the just will be saved by faith. By John Calvin, with the interpretation of the doctrine of justification.
By John Wesley, that consecration be added to the doctrine of justification.
By the revivalist, by the missionary movement, and by the latter rain outpouring.
All of these are progressive steps leading to Jesus.
