Subject: Be perfect? |
Bible Note: Thank you Steve, I appreciate you making this a little clearer for me. And I agree! We are trained to obey, but we just cannot be perfect here on earth, no matter how hard we try or how much we hate sin.. But it is still a honorable and worthy goal- that is, to run towards perfection!! In this way (by this process), we will show ourselves approved to our Lord (sanctification). Blessings, Nolan |
