What does it mean that Christians are made comely with Christ's comeliness?

Answered in 1 source

Being made comely with Christ's comeliness means Christians are clothed in His righteousness and beauty.

Christians, as the bride of Christ, are described as being made comely with His comeliness, which signifies that they are clothed in His righteousness. This transformation occurs through imputation, where Christ’s perfect righteousness is credited to believers, making them acceptable before God. This theological concept is vital as it underscores that salvation and standing before God are not based on our merits but on Christ’s redemptive work. In Song of Solomon 4:7, the metaphor of Christ seeing his bride as 'all fair' signifies the unblemished status of the church due to Christ's sacrifice. This truth instills confidence in believers, assuring them of their acceptance and value in God's eyes.
