...Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be hold and without blemish. || Ephesians 5:25-27.
" He has clothed you in a 'robe of righteousness' (Isaiah 61:10)... When he looks at you, he smiles with contentment and deep affection. He has cleansed you completely so that you are radiant, without any stain or shadow of guilt or impurity. Your wedding dress is as it should be: glistening, white, pure... think:
He won't fail to present me to himself 'in splendor' (Ephesians 5:26) because it has, in fact, already been accomplished. "
