Grace for your spirit
Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48
Do you ever get tired of people reading the Bible and then saying, "Well, it doesn't mean that?" Why would Jesus tell us that we need to be perfect like our heavenly Father, if He didn't mean it and think it could be accomplished? Jesus wants all of us to reach maturity, be complete, and attain perfection. We certainly cannot accomplish this with our own effort, but it can be done with God. When we understand the righteousness that comes from God in Christ, we can know His righteousness makes us righteous. With His righteousness greater than our sins, and His grace abounding, perfection comes from Him.
