Perfect In God's Eyes! :)

Alright, I pretty much believe that we humans have absolutely no way to achieve all we do with perfection, right?  The word "PERFECT" can only be associated with God.  So, that is the truth....right? I hope we all believe that. Perfection is a term that can really have a positive and helpful connotation or it can be negative and only lead to disaster. Let me explain. Well, first of all anything that has to do with God and perfection is the ultimate good stuff right?  If we use (and I confess to using it this way many times) and if we use the term "perfect" as a cop out that would not be good. An example saying would be "'well, I didn't do this because I am not perfect!)! Believe me the other party knows! Total cop out! They really just get mad.

Ok, let me set this out on the table first.  We know God is perfect.  We know God never sinned but loves all sinners.  I think one thing about God the son that really accentuates his humanity was that when He was a human, just like any human, he died and Jesus felt pain and was really torturized.  Thank you Jesus for dying for us and on the 3rd day rising from the grave! 

Second, I and all the others are human and are oodles away from perfection. We do know that. And, others do know that as well.  So, (speaking to myself) stop using that as a cop out! SERIOSULY, I have found that just makes people very mad and the  conversation will end up in heated arguments.

So, now what?  Well, children of God we know we are far away from perfection, but that still should be our goal.   Jesus should be what we strive to be like.  And, Jesus was perfect.  While living on earth, I really don't believe we, humans will ever reach perfection.  But, I do believe that when we spend our time face to face with Jesus, that is when we will have heavenly and glorified bodies that will never feel pain or decay and will be perfect in God's eyes!
