| Perfection |
|
| |
6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
I looked up the meaning of perfection, it means; (the state) completeness.
This brought understanding to me about what it means to be perfect in Gods eyes.
Garrick would tell me it was possible to be perfect, and I kept thinking to myself how could anyone possibly be perfect? It says, thru Christ all things are possible, so if I keep enduring, seeking Him I will get the Holy Ghost. He will complete me.
There is still so much more I have yet to grasp about the meaning behind these verses, but He will continue to bring me understanding, just as He did with something as powerful as "Perfection".
I am so thankful!

| Perfection also means blamless, maturing, we do not see perfection as the world sees it like perfect skin, perfect body ,marriage ect, this is a spiritual GOD given understanding. I am so glad the LORD is giving you understanding and he will complete the work he has begun in us. |

| Hi Beige! I love that I am perfect in God's eyes. Here is just a little testimony of something GOD has shown me and corrected me in. Now that I stand perfect in. I would go to the store and purchase items and check my cart to see if there was anything that I missed before checking out. I would not see anything. When I got to my car I unloaded the bags and I would find something I didn't pay for. Now usually I have all the kids with me, I have errands to run and don't have time to take it back in. So I would just think that it was there loss. How arrogant!! God started talking to me about this after a few times of it happening. God told me it is not right. Your stealing and lying. That really bothered me. Thoughts like - Well if they didn't see it, I'm not going to worry about it. Then one day, I noticed something sooo little that was in my cart. The thoughts came to just take it, it's only a couple bucks, but then the Lord said, take this back and pay for it. So I did. It has not happened to me since. Not ONCE!! I really believe God was showing me that I was dishonest and not upright. Since that day of taking and paying for the item, I have felt that honesty and my integrity, is good before God. In the little things he makes us just and pure. I just wanted to share that with you because God watches us all the time. You are never out of his reach!! Nothing is too small for him or too big. Just keep walking in faith, God will do the work!! I love you!! ~Ann~ |
