How do we know that Christians are seen as beautiful by God?

The perception of Christians as beautiful in God's sight hinges on the transformative work of Christ. As detailed in Colossians 1:21-22, believers, despite their former alienation due to sin, are reconciled to God through Christ's sacrifice, presented as holy, unblameable, and irreproachable. The beauty of the church is not intrinsic to its members but rather derived from Christ's righteousness that covers their sins. Thus, when God looks at His people, He sees them robed in the purity of His Son, which affirms their status as beautiful and acceptable in His sight.
