Charles Finney emphasizes the profound relationship between Christ and the Church, likening it to a marriage where Christ is the devoted husband and the Church is His bride. He explains that just as a wife takes on her husband's name and interests, the Church must fully align with Christ, sharing in His reputation and responsibilities. Finney highlights the importance of faithfulness, urging believers to recognize their sins as a betrayal to Christ, who sacrificed Himself for them. He calls for a complete surrender to Christ's will, asserting that true believers should expect to live without sin through reliance on Jesus for sanctification. Ultimately, Finney encourages the Church to embrace its identity in Christ, trusting Him for protection, holiness, and the ability to bear fruit for God.
