The Definition of Perfect is You!

The definition of perfect is you, yes you! You as in the one reading this blog right now! What? You don't believe me? You think I'm lying? I never lie...

Hebrews 10:14 "...because by one sacrifice He has made PERFECT forever those who are being made holy."

Ok, maybe I do tell the occasional lie - but the Word of God doesn't! Let the passage above sit with you a little while and think about the enormity of it, it's ridiculously overboard!

What Hebrews 10:14 is saying is that you are PERFECT! God sees you perfect and that's it! Everything you are, who you are and what you are is PERFECT in His eyes! Not because of anything other than one thing and that one thing Hebrews says was the "one perfect sacrifice" which is...JESUS!

When we accept Jesus into our lives we become PERFECT in the eyes of God as we become covered by the blood of Jesus and become new creations having received new life - everything we were, what we were, who we were etc is gone and the new has come ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 )!

It's one thing to know this but another to believe it and actually live in the new creation we have become! To live in it fully first starts with seeing ourselves as God sees us - PERFECT! Not as man sees, perceives or classifies us! As Christians we live according to the standards, promises and declarations of God and not according to man made orders that only bring bondage and defeat - simply because we were not designed or created to conform to them and will therefore never be able to! Being made perfect, how can we conform to a set of substandard and imperfect 'norms'?

Secondly Hebrews says we are still being made holy - this is called sanctification and will continue until we enter heaven! Perfection and sanctification are two different things. Sanctification is still occurring in our lives because we are not faultless, we do stuff up, we do give in to the flesh etc etc... but in all this God still says we are PERFECT! Our perfection is not because we are completely sanctified, nor is it dependent on how sanctified we are - our perfection in the eyes of God is because we have accepted the one sacrifice - Jesus and nothing else!

And so having accepted Jesus into your life you are PERFECT, you have received a perfection that is from and God alone, no man can change that or take it away! So live in that - it opens the doors into everything else but most importantly it opens the doors to the Father that self and man generated unworthiness closes!
