And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
MATTHEW 5:48-49
God is a Spirit. God is Love. To live in the Spirit is to live in this life as Lord Jesus. Not to be him, but to be rewarded in the Heavenly Spirit given unto you by him. He lives in us by our faith in allowing him to makeover our complete life.
As you are made over, the ways of yesterdays human life are over and the Lord Jesus heavenly ways begin. Accept Jesus in all situations and his heavenly love and wisdom will permeate into every aspect of each breath you take. He is Lord of your life. King of Kings.
Through the power of The Holy Spirit from Jesus, we are called to live through him. We are to allow God's life to be lived in us with power and wisdom from heaven, not to act Godly as humans. Jesus says to be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect. Therefore, through Jesus and his Spirit, we can be perfect for God such that his will is made complete in us as it was in him. Jesus is the Lord.
To be perfect for God is to Love your neighbor and to Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and then put his love in action for others such that he is seen in you.
