The bride church must be a pure virgin.

The bride church is to be “a pure virgin” to be presented to the “one husband,” the Bridegroom Christ (2 Cor. 11:2).  As a pure virgin, the church must have a sincere and pure devotion to Christ (v. 3).

But Satan deceives us to corrupt our minds so that we may be led astray from our sincere and pure devotion to Christ (v. 3).  Satan preaches “a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached” and tries to get us to receive “a different spirit” and “a different gospel” (v. 4).
