Christ’s being the sacrificial lamb who is without defect means that his church, who are washed with his blood, are all without defect too.
The Apostle Paul says that ‘in Christ, we have been brought to fullness.’[1] And that ‘We have been chosen before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.’[2] That there is ‘no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.’[3] That we have ‘righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.’[4] Christ is our righteousness.[5] And that by his ‘one sacrifice, we are made perfect forever those who are being made holy.’[6]
