How does Christ view His church despite our sinfulness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ views His church as beautiful and undefiled, seeing her through the lens of His righteousness.

Even in our fallen state, Christ perceives His church as beautiful and without fault, a truth rooted in His perfect righteousness. This concept is echoed in the Song of Solomon, where the bridegroom affectionately describes his bride as 'my dove, my undefiled.' Such language illustrates the high regard Christ has for His people, emphasizing that any flaws we may see in ourselves do not define us; rather, it is Christ's righteousness that adorns us, making us acceptable to God. This perspective ignites hope and joyful assurance in the hearts of believers that they remain forever secure in His love.
