Do All in Perfection

Christian truth is not to do our best if we can. Not at all, even not from the beginning. Rather, it is to do all in perfection. The scriptures confirm that we shall be perfect for God is perfect. God says that we are to be holy for He is holy. How can we do all in perfection? It was absolutely impossible in the past. But the door for being holy and perfect is open in Jesus Christ. Yet, it is not at all possible with the best effort we can ever do because we are fatally in want. That's what we used to do in the past under the law and even many Christians are still trying to do. But now it is possible for us to do all in perfection when we fully submit ourselves in heart and mind and soul and spirit to the Lord Jesus Christ. That's called a life worthy of calling under the new covenant. We are no longer under law but under grace because we died to sin. Sin shall not have dominion over us, if at all genuine sons of God. 

"Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48 NKJV)

"And you shall be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine." (Leviticus 20:26 NKJV)
