Ecclesiastes 7:20 Certainly, there is no one so righteous on earth that he always does what is good and never sins.
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” This verse reminds us that no one is perfect, and we all need God’s grace.
– Ecclesiastes 7:20 – “Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.” This verse reinforces the idea that perfection is beyond human reach.
Matthew 5:48 states, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” This verse is part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, where He calls His followers to a higher standard of righteousness.
The word “perfect” in this context does not mean flawless or without sin, as humans are inherently imperfect. Instead, it refers to completeness, maturity, and wholeness in love and righteousness. Jesus is urging His disciples to reflect God’s character—especially His love, mercy, and grace—in their interactions with others.
This verse follows Jesus’ teaching about loving enemies and practicing kindness beyond societal norms. It emphasizes that believers should strive to love unconditionally, just as God does. The call to perfection is about spiritual growth, not achieving an unattainable standard of human flawlessness.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED AND RECEIVED FROM THIS QUICK REFRESHER.
