Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
A question I asked my wife this morning: "Can we be perfect?" Matthew 5::48 tells us" You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Does this mean I'll sin no more? I'll be free of sin as in thoughts, words and actions? Will I be perfect for all to see? Hmmmm! Thoughts to ponder.
Here is my opinion and what I believe to be true. The closer I walk with Jesus, the better I follow God's commands, then the closer I come to perfect . Already we are made perfect in Christ, yet we are not perfect.
The day I will sin no more, be perfect, will be the day I am with the LORD. To me that means physical death, but a large SPIRITUAL BIRTH!!
Here is what a comment by Jamie Wilson says: "When Jesus refers to being perfect like our heavenly Father, He is inviting us to reflect on God’s love, mercy, and righteousness. He sets the ultimate example for us to emulate in our daily lives. Throughout the Bible, God reveals Himself as merciful, just, and loving. By becoming more like Him, we can embody these traits ourselves. This means that instead of seeking perfection in a traditional sense, we should focus on cultivating a heart that seeks God’s righteousness and displays His attributes to the world around us."
If we love like Jesus, show the world a Jesus attitude and type of personality then we will become closer to perfect. What say you?
Thank you for reading today. Oh, a 30 day challenge. If you would be interested in sharing scriptures for 30 days of June and put them on my blog please let me know. We can do this with just me and you, or a whole group of people. Look forward to hearing from you. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
