In our class discussion this week the issue of perfection was raised as to when man reaches the degree of perfection, and the answer was that there is no any sinful human being born of a woman who is perfect. It is only Christ who was and is perfect because of his incarnation. Friends I do believe that the perfect righteousness of Christ is the only answer to the sin problem in any man's life, and there is no single day in this world that we can live and be perfect like Christ. In the after live when Christ comes again our salvation will be complete and we shall be like him when our mortality shall put immortality and finally we will realize our perfection.
In Jesus Christ the divine initiative reaches a unique climax. He became one with us, sharing our lot, showing us what true humanity-humanity made in the image of God-is like. He suffered and was tested, struggling with the tempter. He in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin: (Romans 4:15). By word and life, by death and resurrection, the God-man Jesus Christ, brings the good news of God's love for us and the salvation He provides (John 3:16). Isaiah 64:6 says that “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. I think that as Christians perfection is wholistic in the sense that Jesus’ sacrifice justified us 2000 years ago, and now we are the process of sanctification and finally when Christ comes we will attain our glorification.
