I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. (Psalms 101:1-4)
We rejoice in the One who has made us perfect in Christ. His Spirit and His Word teaches us and guides us into all Truth, wherein we walk. While no one on this side of the grass is perfect apart from Christ, in the sense of being without sIn, error, or blemish; we are mature, complete, and striving onward and upward to that state of perfecting we already have positionally in Christ.
Because of His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, we are made perfect in Him. GOD sees us through the blood of Jesus Christ shed for our sIn. Our sIn debt is paid, we are forgiven, and we are cleansed from all unrighteousness. That doesn't mean we have a license to sIn all we want, it means we sIn more than we want to, but we are growing and maturing into His likeness, as He conforms us into the image of His dear Son.
It is what GOD has destined all believers to be, and while we are here, as strangers and pilgrims, we are to follow Him and obey His Word while telling all the world about His love, grace, and mercy that He has already paid for. The Good News of the Gospel is our only Hope.
For without Christ, unbelievers, the wicked and those who are as we used to be, are condemned already because of their unbelief. But, GOD is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance and a knowledge of the Truth.
The Truth that Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with Him that is real and personal. The Truth that you must be born again. The Truth that if you believe His Word and receive Him, He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Put your faith and trust in Him and let Him give you His Salvation, then you will be perfect in Jesus Christ.
In Christ,
