Known as Pure

The Song of Songs, or Song of Solomon, can be a difficult book of the Bible to study. It is not necessarily hard to understand, and it isn't necessarily hard to relate to. The problem is that it's about the intimate love between a man and a woman. It is full of very intimate love language.

The problem, we find, with Song of Songs, is how to apply it to our every day life, especially if we aren't in a relationship?

We can apply Song of Songs quite easily if we consider Jesus Christ in the role of the man, and the Church in the role of woman. So then, Song of Solomons 4:7 says, "You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you." A groom might say this to his spouse. He is completely in love with her, and she is absolute ideal of beauty. Amazingly, this is how Christ sees us!

Charles Spurgeon says, "It is His purpose to present [us] without 'spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing' (KJV, Ephesian 5:27). [We] shall be holy and unblameable and unreproveable in the sight of the Omniscient God."

Jesus isn't blindly in love with us. He isn't simply choosing to ignore all our faults and problems. Christ washed us clean and healed us, so that no blots or blemish even exist. When we are brought pure before God Almighty, the All Seeing, All knowing One, He see us as completely pure. It does not matter what happened to us here on earth. Jesus Christ makes us eternally pure and blameless before God.
