How Perfect Do We Have To Be?<\/span><\/p>\n

PERFECTION IS A GOAL TOWARD WHICH WE
\nMOVE<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a must read… it will explain so much about confirming how we as Christians are to act and portray ourselves to other’s.<\/span>
\nI pray this helps you!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BIBLE READING:<\/span> Matthew 5:43-48<\/b><\/span>
\nKEY BIBLE VERSE:<\/span> You are to be perfect, even as your <\/span>Father in heaven is perfect. <\/span>Matthew 5:48<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

How can we be perfect?<\/span><\/p>\n

In character.<\/span><\/b> In this life we cannot be flawless, but <\/span>we can aspire to be as much like Christ as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

In holiness.<\/span><\/b> Like the Pharisees, we are to separate our <\/span>self from the world\u2019s sinful values. But unlike the Pharisees, we are to be<\/span>
\ndevoted to God\u2019s desires rather than our own and carry his love and mercy <\/span>into the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

In maturity.<\/span><\/b> We can\u2019t achieve Christ like character and <\/span>holy living all at once, but we must grow toward maturity and wholeness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as we expect different behavior from a baby, a child, a <\/span>teenager, and an adult, so God expects different behavior from us, depending<\/span>
\non our stage of spiritual development.<\/span><\/p>\n

In love.<\/span><\/b> We can seek to love others as completely as <\/span>God loves us.<\/span><\/p>\n

BIBLE READING:<\/span>\u00a0 Colossians 1:24-29<\/b><\/span>
\nKEY BIBLE VERSE: <\/span>Everywhere we go, we tell everyone <\/span>about Christ. We warn them and teach them with all the wisdom God has given <\/span>us, for we want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to <\/span>Christ. Colossians 1:28<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

PERFECTION IS GOD\u2019S WORK IN US<\/span><\/p>\n

The word perfect means mature or complete, not flawless. Paul <\/span>wanted to see each believer mature spiritually. Like Paul, we must work <\/span>wholeheartedly, like an athlete, but we should not strive in our strength <\/span>alone. We have the power of his Spirit working in us. We can learn and grow <\/span>daily, motivated by love and not by fear or pride, knowing that God gives the <\/span>energy to become mature.<\/span><\/p>\n

BIBLE READING:<\/span>\u00a0 Jude 1:1-25<\/b><\/span>
\nKEY BIBLE VERSE: <\/span>Now, all glory to God, who is able <\/span>to keep you from stumbling, and who will bring you into his glorious presence <\/span>innocent of sin and with great joy. All glory to him, who alone is God our <\/span>Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, glory, majesty, power, and authority belong to him, in <\/span>the beginning, now, and forevermore. Amen. Jude 1:24-25<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

PERFECTION WILL BE COMPLETED IN US WHEN WE SEE CHRIST<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When we finally see Christ face to face, we will be \u201cinnocent of sin and with great joy.\u201d<\/span> When Christ appears, and <\/span>we are given our new body, we will be like Christ 1 John 3:2<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming into Christ\u2019s presence will be more wonderful than we <\/span>could ever imagine!<\/span><\/p>\n

We are to “STRIVE”<\/b> to be “PERFECT”<\/b> work hard to <\/span>not to conform to the things of this world and the sin in it.<\/span><\/p>\n
