Purified: Christ's Bride Made Ready

by Jonathan Macnab

Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready for Him? He is returning in power to judge the earth and marry His bride, the church. When He comes, will He find you waiting, expectant, “without spot or blemish or any such thing?” God’s Word says of His bride, “it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints” (Revelation 19:8). When that day comes, will you be found naked?

Maybe your answer isn't what you wish it was. The good news is, God is passionately committed to exalting His name, and He will refine His people—including you. In fact, He's doing it right now. Do you feel it? The question is, will you submit to the process, or will you find yourself fighting against God? Consider Purified your personal journey with God to let Him refine you until the character of Christ shines through.

Face the staggering reality of judgment day when all will be revealed and explore the ancient path to purification in Christ. There is a sure road to a glorious reception in heaven, but it will require our death, resurrection, and devotion. Will YOU be purified?

About the author

Hello! I'm author Jonathan Macnab, a normal guy partnering with God and others to create beautiful things. But normal is glorious—as each of us is eternal and made in His image.

I enjoy literature where truth, faith, and imagination meet, so I write both realistic fiction and creative nonfiction. You can see the full scope of my work or connect with me at storyreborn.com. God has also given me a heart for spiritual renewal, to see the Church revived so people meet Jesus when they meet His people. Anyone who desires the same can walk with me arm-in-arm as we turn the world upside down.

I write stories because I believe that we all belong to one great story, and most of us live each day desperately trying to connect with that greater story but never quite finding our place in it. Every societal ill can be traced back to a lost place in the great story, and every truly noble pursuit in life is inspired by some piece of that grand metanarrative.

Stories speak to us at a deep, spiritual level, whether we intend them to do so or not, because each is a blurred image of some piece of the true story, and we are part of that story—God’s story. Finding our place in that story is the single most important thing we will ever do in our life, because all true life comes out of it.

So, I write. I write the stories of us all, because imagination is built into who we are. We are meant to dream, to see the unseen in our minds and hearts as we wait for it with bated breath, however long it may take. We are meant to create, because we were made in the image of the Creator, the only sovereign God—the Author!
