Perfection Is Possible

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48). Some people, because they haven’t been accurately taught the Word, believe and hold on to wrong teachings and ideas for many years.

That something sounds nice and religious doesn’t mean it’s
consistent with God’s Word. For example, there’re those who say, “We’re
never going to be perfect. As long as we’re in this physical body, we’re
going to sin; we’re going to keep making mistakes.” But this isn’t what the
Bible teaches.
Many of those who have such beliefs got it from their own
experiences. They think everybody else is making mistakes somehow,
because they’re making mistakes in their own lives. So, they don’t
believe in perfection. But the problem is that they don’t know what
perfection in Christ is. When you study the Word, there’s no place that
suggests to us the impossibility of perfection.
We read in our theme verse: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your
Father which is in heaven is perfect.” The word, “perfect” is the Greek, “teleios,” meaning “full grown”; complete and nothing lacking. In this
verse, God wants you to measure your heart with the heart of God. And
the way to do this is through the Word.
When you think, love and forgive others as God wants you to; when
you have the heart of the Father, that’s being perfect as He is perfect. If
we couldn’t be perfect, God would never require it of us. Inspire those
around you by the excellence of your life, and the perfection with which
you do what you do, through the Spirit. The Bible says He’s called us to
“glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3). That means He’s called you to
excellence; therefore, living an excellent life is native to your spirit.
Believe in perfection, for that’s your life and nature in Christ Jesus.
The Bible says He died to present you sin-free and perfect before the
Father: “And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by
wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through
death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His
sight” (Colossians 1:21-22 NKJV).

CONFESSION

I have the mind of Christ; therefore, the perfection of the Spirit
works in me, for He’s called me to glory and excellence! I’m perfect
and flawless, lacking nothing, because as He is, so am I in this world. I’m unblameable, unreproveable and complete in Christ. My
life is an expression of His perfections and glory, to the praise and glory of His Name. Hallelujah!
