The dead in Christ rise spotless! Paul writes” “Christ … loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:25-27). There is nothing more perfect than spotlessness, and nothing more unattainable from a merely human point of view! Here is a glorious perfection that only God creates, and as we read here, He does it through ‘the washing of water by the word.’ You are so loved by God that He will ensure that when resurrection day dawns, you will be found perfect. How wonderful is that!
