How do we know that all believers are beautiful to God?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are seen as beautiful to God because they are conformed to the image of Christ, who is perfect.

The beauty of every believer in God's eyes stems from their unity with Christ, who embodies perfection. Ephesians 5:25-27 states that Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it, purifying it so it would be holy and without blemish. Consequently, when God looks upon believers, He does not see their sins but rather the beauty of Christ's righteousness bestowed upon them. This idea reinforces a significant truth in the sovereign grace perspective: believers are made lovely in God's sight not due to their merit, but by the redemptive work of Christ that makes them perfect before God.
