But the truth is ... we may not be perfect in our own abilities and strengths ... but we are perfect in Christ ... in His strength and in His perfection in us.
We were perfected and justified the minute we believed in Christ and accepted Him as our redeemer and savior.
We continue to be perfected and sanctified through the Holy Spirit ...
daily working in us the perfection of our lives in Christ.
2 Corinthians 12: 9
And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is
made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in
my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
Hebrews 13: 21
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that
which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be
glory for ever and ever. Amen
