Perfection

Is it impossible to be perfect? Many people would agree it is. However God calls us to be more like Him, to be righteous, to be perfect. Wait a minute, didn't we just say it is impossible to be perfect? Well you see that is another lie of the devil, the devil says we can't be perfect, but God says we can!

"Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect" - Matthew 5:48

We shall be perfect, through our faith in Jesus Christ. Don't let the devil let you think otherwise.

"
But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you." - 1 Peter 5:10

Let's strive to live a life that is perfect and pleasing to God, although we may still make mistakes, we need to repent and turn from our sins.

Lord help me to live a life that is pleasing in your eyes, let me live not by the standards of the world but by your standards which is above the world. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
