0:00.0	Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth knows that so many people are focused on what they can get from a relationship.
0:06.5	When we focus on how we can be givers of pleasure to others, that's when we find the greatest joy and pleasure when we realize it's not about me.
0:17.5	This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Friday, March 18, 2016.
0:31.2	Over the past 30 years of ministry, I've had the joy of teaching verse by verse through the Song of Solomon many times,
0:39.2	including here and revive our hearts. I've always found it to be an incredibly rich study.
0:45.2	And as a single woman, God has used this book to call me into a more intimate love relationship
0:50.4	with Christ. Well, after getting married to Robert last year, I found that the time I had
0:56.6	spent in the Song of Solomon over these years was even more meaningful. Now, partly because of my

1:46.5	Well, throughout this study, we've been focusing on how the Song of Solomon reveals the
1:53.3	amazing love of Christ for his bride.
1:57.5	His bride, the church, individual believers who are part of his bride. And this is the primary message of
2:05.3	scripture. It's something that has been in the heart of God from the foundation of the world.
2:11.1	God's redeeming love for sinners, pursuing them, making them a bride for his son. That's the heart of the gospel, how God has done that.
2:20.0	And human marriage is intended to point to that relationship between Christ and his bride.
2:29.3	It's not that God made marriage and then said, oh, what could that illustrate? Let's have it, you know,
2:33.6	oh, it illustrates the gospel. No, God came up with the marriage and then said, oh, what could that illustrate? Let's have it, you know, oh, it illustrates the gospel. No, God came up with the gospel, and then he designed marriage
