The chosen, elect bride of Christ is the daily sacrifice in Daniel 22. The complete offering of our bodies as living sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ. Jesus said there is no greater love than to sacrifice such that another may live. Scriptures reveal how the Elect bride of Christ cover the lives of others because not all will call upon the name of the Lord, Jesus and be saved. Also, God woild that none perish.
