STEP #2: THE BRIDE PRICE WAS ESTABLISHED

Yeshua being the believers bridegroom paid a very high price for His Bride. The price He paid was His life. Yeshua considered the price He had to pay for His bride before His death as He went into the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. In Matthew / Mattityahu 26:39 it is written:

Matthew 26:39 And he went a little farther and fell on his face, and prayed saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as you will.
