I have yet to learn that there is a single passage in Scripture which teaches that a literal perfection, a complete and entire freedom from sin, in thought, or word, or deed, is attainable, or ever has been attained, by any child of Adam in this world.
Ecclesiastes 7:20 Certainly, there is no one so righteous on earth that he always does what is good and never sins.
Philippians 3:12–15 It’s not that I’ve already reached the goal or have already completed the course. But I run to win that which Jesus Christ has already won for me. Brothers and sisters, I can’t consider myself a winner yet. This is what I do: I don’t look back, I lengthen my stride, and I run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God’s heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus. Whoever has a mature faith should think this way. And if you think differently, God will show you how to think.
James 3:2 All of us make a lot of mistakes. If someone doesn’t make any mistakes when he speaks, he would be perfect. He would be able to control everything he does.
LET US STRIVE TO BE WHO GOD CREATED US TO BE,
BUT LET US NOT BE TOO HARD ON OURSELVES OR ALLOW ANYONE TO BE TOO HARD ON US.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS, BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE FOR GOD. STRIVE!!!
