How do we know the bride of Christ is virtuous?

The virtue of the bride of Christ is established through the transformative work of God's grace. As Ephesians 2:8-9 affirms, salvation is not of works but a gift from God, which empowers believers to live righteously. The virtuous woman in Proverbs signifies a believer who, through faith and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, is enabled to act in ways that glorify God. This new identity in Christ ensures that she is viewed as virtuous, worthy, and set apart for His purposes, embodying His righteousness.
