No spot!

(Henry Law, "The Song of Solomon" 1879)

"You are all beautiful, My love; there is 
 no spot in you." Song of Solomon 4:1

There is no spot in the Church, because the 
blood of Jesus entirely obliterates each stain. 

Omniscience may look for sins, but no more 
can they be found. The absence of defect is 
the result of her being adorned with His perfect 
righteousness. In this no blemish can exist. 
Thus she appears righteous, even as God is 
righteous.

This blessed truth must be held fast without 
obliterating the knowledge of our own constant 
and innumerable transgressions. It cannot be 
too often repeated, that in ourselves we are
deformed and loathsome.

The most saintly of saints will ever breathe 
the prayer, "God be merciful to me a sinner."

But Jesus says of His people, "You are all 
beautiful, My love; there is no spot in you.
