Spiritual musing

Be ye perfect is actually impossible in humans terms in my opinion BUT only because no one can achieve perfection. Many have tried over the years but I think it is impossible for humans to be perfect.

EXCEPT or UNLESS humans are “IN CHRIST”.

Perfection as a human being is not as a result of our effort, though most of humanity thinks that they can achieve a certain level of perfection. By our human effort there is just no way! If I should be able to achieve some level of perfection in one area of my life, there are still 99 other ways that we will continue to be imperfect.

Perfection can only be realized through the work of the Holy Spirit. That work is spiritual and reflects or transfers to our physical realm when we are immersed in Christ through the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth with regard to the areas of our lives that need improvement. The potential is modelled in Jesus himself as the new Adam.

the first Adam was “perfect” before they (humankind) turned away from god to fulfil their own goals. Adam mistakenly believed that his desires could go further than what god was offering to humankind. God became an option when Adam chose his own path.

Whether Adam was an actual real person doesn’t really matter because the story itself holds deep knowledge to those who can internalize and understand it. That story encapsulates how humanity behaves toward god throughout time up to today.

How can I be perfect then?

we have to put our status as humans in relation to god back to the relationship Adam had before falling away from god. The relationship broke at some point in the past and it is still absolutely shattered up to today save our opportunity to hide in Christ.

Christ became our ‘one stop shopping’, Swiss Army knife of life. What Jesus accomplished on the cross in his body re opened the potential for humankind to relate to god.
