(repost of Perfection document from 05/08/12)
This is a study/article I wrote several years ago concerning the Biblical view of the Believer's Perfection, which God requires and enables Christians to experience and live. I realize I address this issue from time to time, but it is such a neglected and rejected Biblical reality that I want to share it with those who have never heard, and those who have yet to accept and yield to the revealed word of God.
I suggest a careful reading (study) of the entire document. I know it is longer than a snippet, a quip, a soundbite, BUT AT LEAST IT IS SHORTER THAN A BOOK (smile).
FOR A QUICK VIEW OF AVAILABLE PERFECTIONS FOR BELIEVERS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT...
Go down to point C. Perfection In The New Testament
Go down to subpoint 3) Sixteen Areas Of Believer’s Perfection.
CHECK OUT THIS LIST
Perfect in Love, Perfect in Mercy, Perfect in Holiness, Perfect in Righteousness, Perfect in Purity, Perfect in Conscience, Perfect in Christ Likeness, Perfect in Christian Walk, Perfect in Obedient Thought, Perfect in Spiritual Mindedness, Perfect in Forgiving Others, Perfect in Unity, Perfect in Consistent Service, Perfect in Christian Graces and Growth, Perfect in Will of God, Perfect in Deliverance,
I know that large numbers of believers stand in readiness to argue against the idea of anyone experiencing any kind of perfection. However, if you will read this article, and then openly admit that you agree with these points, you will be denounced and ridiculed as a heretic by those who espouse sinning religion, but you will be in agreement with the writers of the Old and New Testaments.
