1 | "Be ye perfect." | Matt 5:48 | humility | 214598 | ||
Jesus said "Be ye perfect aven as your Father in heaven also is perfect." Why do some believers today, still say that it's impossible to be perfect? Is it because we try to please God on our own, or it just another excuse to do whatever we feel? Do you think we just have the wrong concept on what perfection really is? | ||||||
2 | "Be ye perfect." | Matt 5:48 | keliy | 214599 | ||
Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees and demonstrating God's standard of righteousness. The Pharisees taught that they should love those near and dear to them, but that Israel's enemies were to be hated. This implied that that their hatred was a means of God's judgment. God was not going to lower His standard to accommodate this audience, so He set forth His absolute holiness as the standard. Though the human race will never be able to attain this standard, when we place our faith and trust in God, then His righteousness can be reproduced in our lives. Lord bless, keliy |
