Understanding Perfection

Understanding Perfection

Matt 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Perfection from the original Greek Biblical text does not mean to be free from flaws or defects.

“Perfect” in the Greek; #5046 is teleios; from:5056; complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc.); completeness.

This “perfection” is a labor of growth in mental and moral character, overcoming evils and establishing a foundation of love in life.

Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Are you renewed, transformed, and do not conform to this world?

Gal 3:3  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 

Recognizing this perfection stems from your soul having the Word from the “beginning.” and in “time,” (eternal) this gift of perfection comes to all.

James 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 

Eph 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 

Be like Jesus.

Luke 6:40  The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
