Your Spots and Blots by Thomas Brooks The Lord Our Righteousness
Jeremiah 23 verse 6

They are without fault before the throne of God

Revelation 14 verse 5

Weak hearts are apt to sit down troubled and discouraged when they look upon that body of sin which is in them, and those imperfections which attend their best services. They are ready to say, We shall one day perish by the strength of our lusts or by the defects of our services. Oh, but to strengthen them against all discouragements they should remember this, that they stand before God clothed with the righteousness of their Savior. They are without fault before the throne of God. Revelation 14 verse 5.

So in Solomon's song, All beautiful you are, my darling, There is no flaw in you. There is no flaw in God's account. God looks upon weak saints in the sun of His love, And sees them all lovely. Ah, poor souls, you are apt to look upon your spots and blots, And to cry out with the leper not only, Unclean, unclean, but undone, undone. Well, forever remember this, that you stand before God in the righteousness of Christ, upon which account you always appear before the throne of God without fault, where you are all lovely and where there is no flaw in you. They are without fault before the throne of God. Revelation 14 verse 5.
