The ring, which has neither end nor beginning, symbolizes God's eternal nature. The ring is made of gold as a representation of how precious we are to God. The ring is most often used as the symbol of a covenant relationship -- and God wants to share such a covenant relationship with each one of us.
When the light of God's presence shines upon that symbol of God's covenant with us, we see a heart -- an emblem declaring that the basis of our covenant with God is love.
The ring is placed on the Scriptures, the story of God's romance with us, and the statements of His covenant with us. On the specific page of Scripture we see the depiction of Jesus' death on the cross. His sacrifice in order to have each of us as His Bride cost far more than a wedding ring.
Jesus is eternally committed to you in sacrificial love--
have you accepted the covenant to be sacrificially committed to Him in return?
