The Beauty Of The Church

You are all fair, my love,
And there is no spot in you.
(Song of Solomon 4:7)

The Lord's description of His Church is wonderful: You are all fair, my love.
 

The Church is pure.
 

She is washed in Christ's sin-atoning blood.
 

She is clothed in Christ's meritorious righteousness.
 

In her, the Lord sees holiness, glory, and perfection.
 

The Church is lovely.
 

Her deformities of sin are removed.
 

A meritorious righteousness is given to her.
 

Actual beauty is conferred upon her.
 

The Church is superlatively beautiful.
 

"O Fairest among women." (Song of Solomon 1:8)
 

Her real worth and excellence cannot be rivaled by all the nobility and royalty of the world. 

 

The Church is beautiful in the eyes of the Lord.
