People like to say they are not perfect, as an excuse to sin. But God made us good and perfect, and He wants us to remain good and perfect. He said, “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is PERFECT.” (Matthew 5:48 NKJV).

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and PERFECT will of God.” (Romans 12:2 NKJV).

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a PERFECT man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” (Ephesians 4:11‭-‬16 NKJV).

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly furnished unto all good works.”(2 Timothy 3:16‭-‬17 KJV).

“Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” (James 1:16‭-‬17 KJV).

“There is no fear in love; but PERFECT love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made PERFECT in love.” (I John 4:18 NKJV). THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU NOT TO STRIVE FOR PERFECTION,AND BE PERFECT.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” (Jude 1:24‭-‬25 KJV)
