You Are Perfect In Christ by pressplay411(m): 11:36am On Nov 30, 2018
The book of Matthew chapter 5 details our calling as Christians, as God's Creation, as revealed through our Saviour.
It was the Sermon on the Mount. The birth of the Ministry of our Saviour. The Unveiling of the New Covenant.
The chapter concludes with our LORD, Jesus Christ informing us of what He has come to give us.
We have received the Grace to be Perfect just as God in Heaven.

We are saved to enter into the Perfection of Creation as in the Garden of Eden before sin was ever known.

This certainly seems absurd to the human ears and understanding.

That is why it is not our work to do.
It is God, through the Holyspirit dwelling inside us, that wants to accomplish this.

We have the same Spirit that was in Christ. It is not so that we should continue to struggle in sin.
But to Rest in Godliness.

The Holyspirit shows us our sins, shows us the way of righteousness. And teaches, leads and empowers us to live a Righteous life.
It is not overnight.
It is not easy.
It is simply a Growth.
It is the Journey of Faith.

And no, there is no Condemnation even when we fail, He just wants us to keep trying and not give up.
He wants us to start loving Righteousness (Doing things Right).
He wants us to be Perfect.
Just keep trying as He helps you overcome your weaknesses. Keep submitting as He tells you what to change about you and what to do with your blessings.

The Grace was given to us to fulfill the Law perfectly, without condemnation and sacrifices.

The New testament doesn't abolish the old testament, it only comes to make it possible through the Gift of the Holy Spirit (A new heart).

Christ in us, the Hope of Glory.

The enemy has subtly succeeded in making us see Perfection as impossible. The same way the Israelites couldn't look in the face of Moses. The same way they feared to enter their own Promised Land because it looked impossible.
And because of that they settled for 40 years struggle in the wilderness, instead of a journey of 40 days.

Perfection is what every human being wants for his gadgets. We want to look and perform excellent.
Yet when it comes to us becoming Perfect, we remember, we are only human, so we were not meant to be perfect.

Oh, Who has bewitched us!

Yes, the fallen man, the sinful man can not be perfect.
But the Re-born man, the Glorified man has been Redeemed into Perfection.
Our God declares the end from the start. That is why He calls us Holy, Righteous even while we are yet falling in sin.
He sees in us, His Spirit, He sees in us Our new nature. He sees in us Jesus Christ.
And He sees us becoming just like that.
It is up to us to have the Faith to believe who He says we are.

Only when we come to know and Grow in Love. Can we be willing to endure the sacrifice and drop our old nature/self for His new nature.
Interestingly, His calling, which is the new nature, the nature of Christ, bearing the Fruit of the Spirit, is what produces all we have been searching for all our lives.
His nature is what produces everlasting prosperity that surpasses all our wildest imagination, dreams and ambitions.
People start to just Love you because you have become Love.
Favour starts to follow you because people just can't help themselves around you.
God becomes our Everything and uses everyone to bless us as we also bless others.
