Ephesians 5:22-25
saviour (See Scofield "RomansĀ 1:16"). even as Christ Christ's love-work for the church is threefold: past, present, future:- (1) For love He gave Himself to redeem the church (Ephesians 5:25);
- (2) in love He is sanctifying the church (Ephesians 5:26);
- (3) for the reward of His sacrifice and labour of love He will present the church to Himself in flawless perfection, "one pearl of great price" (Ephesians 5:27) Matthew 13:46.
