Ephesians 5:25-26 - Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
 
 Transcript:
 
 Why did Christ give himself for the church? In Ephesians chapter five, we read, in verse 26, the first reason, That he might sanctify and cleanse her with washing of water by the word.
 
 But, we also read the second reason that he might present her to himself a glorious church. Does that describe your church?
 
 Does that describe the group of people that you belong to? A glorious church presented to Christ and submissive to him.
