In one form or another, the word perfect is found 129 times in 124 verses in the Bible.
Meaning of perfect - make (something) completely free from faults or defects, or as close to such a condition as possible.
Is perfection attainable? Do we each strive to reach "perfection"? I do think in today’s society there are unrealistic expectations of perfection. We see this in magazines, television, and billboards.
As a photographer, I understand the amazing enhancements that can be accomplished with photoshop. How did the importance of who we become that superficial packaging? Are we striving to be the best from within? Do we own a caring heart? Do we have a loving soul? Do we make a difference in life? The perfection we are running towards should have no price tag.
But I find to attain this rich quality of perfection we must understand what it looks like. The true meaning of perfection can be seen in the simple life of a man with a mission to love far beyond any boundary.
His attributes are many to be admired. He is Loving, Kind, Gentle, Forgiving, Committed, A Servant, Compassionate, Prayerful, Patience, Self-Controlled, and Humble, and the list goes on and on.
In my opinion, that is true perfection and what we should be striving to achieve daily...
The human “race” is not just a class of people, but it marks our race with destiny... The question becomes will you run a good race? Will you finish? Will you be a winner?? The prize is obtaining true spiritual perfection one day, one life at a time, for eternity. The chase is on, look for that perfect role model... And if you are not clear on who your role model is look to Jesus.
True perfection = Jesus
It's Him, It's always Him!
You, therefore, will be perfect [growing into spiritual maturity both in mind and character, actively integrating godly values into your daily life], as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48 AMP
“Mark the perfect man and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.” Psalms 37:37 KJV
And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation. Hebrews 5:9
