Be Perfect — Part 1

September 5, 2022

The command to Be Perfect can initially be confusing because we associate the word “perfect” with the idea of sinless perfection. However “perfect” here has the idea of growing, maturing, and becoming complete. Join Nate and Gabe as they expound on God’s desire that we as His children would grow and mature becoming channels of His perfect love to others.

In this exploration of the command “Be Perfect,” you will be deeply encouraged as you see God’s desire to mature His children. One of the ways He does this is by increasing our level of training, one step at a time, to become more dependent upon Him. Irritations, hardships, and difficult people are “classrooms” God gives us. As we become more dependent on Him, we become channels of His life and His love to others, and we are seen as “children of our Father in heaven.”
