| This exhortation was not given to some celestial being or angel, it was given to a man by the name of Abram, (whose name was later changed to Abraham). Yet today we seem to hear the expression, “Nobody’s perfect.” In fact, calling a person a “perfectionist” is often taken as a derogatory comment. However, God’s will is not for us to excuse ourselves for being immature, worldly, foolish or ignorant when it comes to our Christian walk. No, he wants us to “Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). He wants spiritual maturity, which can only develop as we read our Bible, spend time in prayer, and live in the power of the Spirit. While it is true we only “know in part, and we prophesy in part” (1 Corinthians 13:9), yet the exhortation still stands, “Be ye therefore perfect” (Matthew 5:48). |
