Can anyone be perfect
1. CAN ANYONE BE PERFECT?
Sandy had woken up late again. She dashed out of the house, hoping to get to work in
time. I need to be better organized, she thought, as she hurriedly boarded a bus.
Thankfully, she arrives at the office at exactly 8am, only to see that her boss had
responded to an email she sent the night before. Perfect! Youve carried out the
assignment excellently well, he wrote.
She received the message with mixed feelings. At first, she was excitement at the
commendation, but after a few minutes, she pondered on her supervisors choice of
words. How could she, who had wished to be more organized just a few hours earlier,
be described as perfect? Can anyone actually be perfect? she thought.
Perfection As It Relates To The Christian
In todays devotional, Pastor Chris talks about perfection as it relates to the Christian,
and states emphatically that perfection is possible. In fact, theres no place in Gods
Word that suggests the impossibility of perfection.
Perfection can be measured at different stages of ones life. It is measured according to
the light, instruction, or information youve been given with respect to a certain
assignment or objective. Youre only rated according to the level of training and
information youve received, not for the one you didnt get.
2. The Possibility Of Perfection
This shows the possibility of perfection. At different stages of your life, God guides you
through His Word on how to live successfully. As you diligently practice these
principles, youve begun your journey of perfection, which is from glory to glory.
Sandys boss ascribed perfection to her work because she followed his instructions to
the letter; she paid careful attention to details and arrived at an excellent result. Learn to
pay attention to details, and youll find yourself doing things impeccably right the first
time.
