Song of Solomon #21 Jesus Sees No Spot In You

Jesus declares to you, His elect bride: "there is no spot in thee" (Song 4:7)? What does Jesus mean?

After all, one indication that you are actually growing in your sanctification is that you see the spots of sin in what you think and desire, in what you say and listen to, in what you watch and how you use your time, your treasures, and your talents and you do not try to hide them from the Lord Jesus (as if it was possible to do so anyway). In fact, the closer you get to the light of God's Word in reading it, meditating upon it, believing it, loving it, and applying it, the more His law reveals the spots of sin in your thoughts, words, and deeds.

Acknowledging and repenting of your sin in order that you may put it off in Christ is a part of the work of grace in your life. What then does Jesus mean that He sees no spot of sin in you? You see these spots of sin in you. How is it that Jesus does not seem them? Let us see from our text.
