Being a Christian is not being perfect. Nobody is perfect. But, being a Christian, it is our duty to try to follow in the footsteps of Christ and be better people. Christ taught us love, forgiveness and compassion. He was compassionate to sinners and outcasts. We are not perfect, but we try to follow in his footsteps.
What does the bible say about being perfect
“Do not be perfect, therefore, like your Father who is in heaven” – Matthew 5:48
Just as our heavenly Father is perfect, in the same way we must seek perfection. However, this does not mean that we should strive to be perfect at everything, but rather that we should strive to be better every day. We should try to imitate God’s perfection in everything we do, and this is what the Bible really calls us to do.
“But you will be perfect in love” – Matthew 22:37-40
The most important commandment that God gave us was to love our neighbor as ourselves. This is what really makes us perfect in his eyes. When we love others, we are following the example of Jesus and we are showing the same love that he gave us. Love is the key to perfection, and it is something that we can all look for in our lives.
“Therefore be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” – Matthew 5:48
This is one of the keys to perfection. We must strive to be perfect in everything, just like our heavenly Father is. We must strive for perfection in everything we do, and this is something we can all achieve if we put in the effort to do so.
How should a good Christian be?
First of all, a good Christian must be obedient to God. This means that we are to follow His Commandments and do what He tells us to do. We must also love God above all things and put him first in our lives.
Second, a good Christian must love others. We must do good to everyone, even to our enemies. We must be compassionate and forgive those who hurt us. We must also treat others as we want to be treated ourselves.
Third, a good Christian must have faith. We must believe in God and in his Word. We must trust Him at all times, even when the going gets tough. We must know that God is controlling everything and that He has a plan for our lives.
Fourth, a good Christian must be humble. We must recognize that we are sinners and that we need God. We must seek his help and let him guide us. We must recognize that we cannot do anything without Him.
Fifth, a good Christian must be hardworking. We must fight against sin and try to live according to God’s will. We must be persevering and never stop believing. We must know that God is with us and that he will help us overcome all difficulties.
What is the perfect being
Being perfect is a goal to which we should all aspire. It does not mean that we should be flawless, but that we should strive to live according to the principles of God’s Word. Perfection is something we can all aspire to if we are willing to follow Christ. He is the model of perfection to follow, and if we strive to imitate him, we can achieve perfection.
The Bible teaches us that perfection is possible (Matthew 5:48). We can become like our Heavenly Father if we follow his commandments and live according to his will. God has given us everything necessary for us to be perfect, so it is up to us to use those resources to achieve our goal.
Being perfect is not something we can achieve by our own efforts. It depends on God to give us the strength and power to carry out his purposes for our lives. But we must cooperate with him and do our part to move towards the goal of perfection. We must pray and ask him to guide us and give us the necessary wisdom to achieve our goal. Then, we must put into practice what we learn and follow his commandments. Thus, we can get closer and closer to perfection.
What do I have to do to be perfect?
The Bible doesn’t say exactly what we must do to be perfect, but there are some things we can infer from what it says. First of all, we must keep in mind that perfection is not something we can achieve on our own. The Bible says that we are “by nature sinners” (Isaiah 64:6) and that our “righteousness” is “like filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). Therefore, we need a Savior to free us from our sin and give us a new nature. This Savior is Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17; Matthew 1:21).
Once we have received Christ as our Savior, we must follow his commandments. He himself said: “He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me” (John 14:21). Likewise, he said, “If you love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). In other words, an important part of following Christ is obeying his commandments. The Bible says that love is “the fulfilling of the law” (Romans 13:10).
The Bible also says that we are to walk in the Spirit. “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16). This means that we must stop living for our own desires and start living for God. We must seek the gifts of the Spirit and let Him guide us in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23).
In short, to be perfect, we need Christ to save us, follow his commandments, and let the Holy Spirit guide us.
The Bible clearly teaches that perfection is not required to follow Christ. He himself said: “It is not I, but he who sent me” (John 8:28). “I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal” (John 1:27). In other words, Christ recognized that he was not perfect, but still he was the Son of God.
