As I have been troubled lately with the issue of the perfection of Jesus, I have always known the answer, and I have always known that I have known the answer.
God doesn’t call us to be perfect, firstly because there isn’t perfection, not in humanity anyway.
The ideal woman for one man is the complete wrong woman for another man.
God doesn’t want perfection that’s not the goal that should be on our list.
He doesn’t ever say to men “become perfect” he says “live as Christ” which means perfection isn’t our goal, to be humble, selfless, generous, caring and all the other things Christ was.
It just so happens he was perfect himself, doesn’t mean we have to be.
He also doesn’t call us to be segregated by our perfection, if ever we were to reach perfection that would be the day we are farthest from it.
God calls us to love, that’s it, listen to him, love him and honour him.
The rest is all subjective.
Philippians 4: 13 “I can do all through Christ who strengthens me”
We are not perfect, but we can channel God’s perfection.
It’s easier said than done, I mean it’s so hard to be loving to all, or always do the right thing, or think the right thing or not think the wrong thing, this is my next topic to research, I want to know practical steps to being a better Christian.
