Perfection

Articles focus on the true meaning of perfection. We are to be perfect, as our Father in heaven is perfect. Originally meaning of perfect is maturity. There are three types of ‘perfect’ in Scripture: 1) perfect in birth – the new born Christian, 2) perfect in growth, and 3) perfect in maturity. Perfection comes by looking for the power that is above rather than that which is within.

TRUTH MATTERS
Jesus is truth (John. 14:6, 18:27; Matt. 22:16; Mark 12:14; Luke 20:21; Heb. 1:1-3; ), the word is truth (Jesus is also the Word-Jn. 1:1, scripture: 2 Sam. 7:28; Ps. 119:160; 1 Ki. 17:24; Jn. 17:17; 2 Cor. 6:7; Gal. 2:5, Eph. 1:13; Col. 1:5, 2 Tim. 3:16, Rev. 21:5), and the law/commandments is truth (Ps. 119:142, 119:151; Rom. 2:20, 22:6).
The King James Version is used on this website unless otherwise noted.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

It is imperative that we know the truth. This is the only way we can be free according to scripture. By deduction we can conclude that if we do not know the truth then we are in bondage. What is truth? Second Timothy 3:16 tells us, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” This is the gospel, which means ‘good news’. God’s word is good news. We encourage ‘truth seekers’ to invite the Holy Spirit into your life and prayerfully ask for guidance and understanding as you study God’s holy word. Rest assure you will receive it. God bless you in your journey.

John 3:16-17 KJV
¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
¹⁷For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

The devil is the enemy of truth. We are told in 1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he many devour.” How does he ‘devour’? The Bible tells us, “… He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44). So, he devours or kills by lies and deception. Think upon what he told Eve. TRUTH MATTERS!
