God referred to Himself as Israel’s Husband and to Israel as his bride. God spoke of and showed great love towards Israel.
Isaiah 5:1 Now let Me sing to My well beloved a son of My beloved regarding His vineyard: My well beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
Isaiah 54:5 For your Maker is your Husband, the Lord of Hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.
We are told in Ephesians that the husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the church and the wife is to respect her husband. God has left us His beautiful word that teaches of His love for us; for He gave His only begotten Son that we may have life eternal with Him. How much more should we love each other? How much more should we respect Him and keep His commandments? There is no greater love than God’s.
