Ephesians 5:25-27 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
My question concerns the nature of the church. If the church is a mixed body (includes non-elect), how can this passage assert that Christ died for the church to present it spotless before God?
