Matthew 5:48 KJV
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
2 Corinthians 13:9 KJV
… and this also we wish, even your perfection.
Christ's comparison of perfection with the Father removes so many of our interpretations and compromising applications of perfection. To compare ourselves to the mark set by God the Father is forever a game changer.
No wonder Paul said he had not attained (perfection) already.
But the fact that he had not attained had not discouraged him from pressing toward that mark.
• The challenge of Christ is to be perfect
• The work of the church is our perfection
• The result of the word is perfection and
• The aim of every believer ought to be perfection
