Are You Perfect?

Are You Perfect?

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

Salvation is turning your ways of living over to a life living the words of Christ. At the moment of your transition, you become perfect. Becoming perfect is a lifestyle and an individual decisions process according to one’s conscious. Simply stating you are living a life from love and goodness from your renewing of your mind through Christ.

Gal 3:2-3  This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

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. 

Perfection according to the original Greek Biblical text is not an act of performing something to flawlessness. Look at the original Greek text word for perfect. Perfect in the Greek: τέλειος From G5056; complete (in various applications of labor growth mental and moral character etc.); neuter (as noun with G3588) completeness: – of full age man perfect. G5056 τέλος From a primary word τέλλω tellō (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination [literally, figuratively or indefinitely], result [immediate, ultimate or prophetic], purpose); specifically an impost or levy (as paid). Compare G5411. G5411 φόρος From G5342; a load (as borne), that is, (figuratively) a tax (properly an individual assessment on persons or property.

“Perfect” should be looked at as an individual personal assessment by God because of your new state of “renewed” completeness. This does not mean you bowled a perfect 300 game or got a hole in one, or flawlessly built something.

1John 2:5  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

See Also; Mat 19:21, Luke 6:40, John 17:23, 1Co 1:10, 1Co 2:6, Col 1:28, Col 4:12, 2Ti 3:17, Php 3:15, James 1:4, Heb 10:14, Heb 13:21, James 1:4, James 3:2, 1Pe 5:10, 1Jn 4:12, 1Jn 4:17-18

Perfection is something being done that is individually assessed by God in accordance to your unique conscience which is who you are.
This makes perfect sense since we can do NOTHING from our own. (John 15:5)

The Bible is written in such a way that some people feel they cannot achieve the standard set in scripture but fail to realize all that is needed is to avoid evils.
Understanding that life is through Christ and the Word being God, love, and life, wanting to live free of “missing the mark” and press toward the mark “for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”. (Phi 3:14)

What Can You Do?

John 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

John 5:19  Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. (Also see; John 5:30, John 8:28)

Your true self is your soul-spirit. In your creation, the Word was instilled into you so you know goodness. Born into the flesh, you now have the option to choose how you want to live.

If you can do nothing of yourself, then from your soul-spirit, what can you do?

The flesh gives your soul-spirit the option to choose how you want to live and even at that, at some point in your eternal life, your eternal soul will come (back) to understand and live that life we were created to live for the pleasure of God in His Will.

How can you take all the verses related to promises, mercy, grace, love, eternal life, and salvation, to think that there will be one lost soul? God called all His Creation good. According to Romans 14:11, “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God”.

Creation was not created for failure but for the pleasure of God’s will. He has never left you and nothing about Him has changed in you. You are the one to create what God did not create.

Eph 1:5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, (see also; Eph 1:9, Eph 1:11, Php 2:13, 2Th 1:11)
