Scripture tells us that Christ will come for a "glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle." And Dominionism teaches that we have to make it that way. Things will just get better and better, they say, as “we” subdue the world and overcome all, until we’re all “without spot or wrinkle.”
No. As long as we are in these fallen, mortal bodies, we will ALWAYS be with spot and wrinkle. If we waited till all believers overcame all to the point of being “without spot or wrinkle” in themselves, eternity wouldn’t be enough time to accomplish that.
It's nor our righteousness but HIS.
“...that HE (Christ) might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 5:26-27
The only way the Bride of Christ is going to be without spot or wrinkle, is by the righteousness of Christ imparted to her, and by Christ cleansing us with his Word. HIS action, not ours.
"You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you.”
John 15:3-4
