Revelation 21:1-2 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

No promise is more precious than the promise of making His bride and Himself One in matrimony. And what does that entail? What does it mean to be the bride?

Revelaion 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

V11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

V24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it(the bride): and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it(the bride).

V27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

While Revelation 21 and 22 contain many descriptions I referenced only those portions which implicate us in active participation. What all that entails is still a mystery but there is something to be done for it is noted in 22:1 a bride prepared, meaning ready to be all that is required, lacking nothing. I also find it heartwarming to see the Spirit and the bride united in effort; V22:17.
