“Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man” (Gen 2:23).
Though Adam did not know or feel that one of his ribs had been taken out, he was able to discern it in his spirit. It was not at all necessary for anyone to introduce the woman to the man and tell him his responsibilities towards his wife. When we walk with God, we will be able to understand our duties in our spiritual life and also what our position in the Church is. “The anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you” (I Jn 2:27).
‘Bone of my bones’ - ‘Bone’ in the original tongue also means ‘substance’. Adam is a type of Christ. The Bride of Christ has the same substance (life or character) as that of Christ. God is preparing a group of saints who have the very life and character of Christ.
‘She was taken out of Man’ - What a great sacrifice Adam had to make to get a bride – one of his vital bones taken out! To take out a rib, the side has to be pierced. Jesus Christ our Bridegroom was pierced on His side and His agonizing sacrifice formed the Church of Christ. What a dowry He paid for us!
Not only is the Bride ‘taken out of’ Christ, but all that the Bride has too – all the blessings – are in Him. We have been made to sit in heavenly places IN Christ and we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings IN Christ (Eph 2:7;1:4). Apart from Christ we are nothing and we have nothing.
