"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me."
PHILIPPIANS 3:12
The word perfection has no place in the Christian heart unless you speak of Christ Jesus. The call to follow God and give your life to him is so he may work his perfection into your life. Humans are sinful - the Lord is perfect - cloaked in Righteousness.
It is through obedience to his word and spirit he gives you - that his perfect light is brought into your less than perfect world. Let your mind rest and follow your heart - God is love - and he lives in you - Christ Jesus Lives.
The Lord takes his children and teaches us - he consecrates us into a perfect lamp so that others may see him in us.
Our bodies are tools for God to be used for his good purpose. We are called to be in perfect relation to Christ Jesus - not to be perfect. We are not to be unused and hidden - but rather brought forth in him such that his love and Holy Spirit shall be witnessed in you by others - to love your neighbor.
