Behold the Bride – Knowing and Being Known by Christ: The Oil of Intimacy

In this episode of Created in the Image of God on Radio Cape Pulpit, host Sylvia Colville continues the "Behold the Bride" series with Episode 3, focusing on what it truly means to know and be known by Christ. She revisits the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1–13) and emphasizes that the foolish virgins were rejected not because they ran out of oil, but because Jesus said, "I do not know you." Colville explains that knowing Him comes through intimacy—time spent in His presence, abiding in His light, and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our hearts. She connects this to 1 John 2:3–11 and John 14:21–23, showing that those who love God keep His commandments and become a dwelling place for the Father and the Son. The episode is a heartfelt invitation to pursue a deeper relationship with Christ, allowing His love to produce lasting change and preparing us to be part of His chosen bride.
