Today’s scripture: 1 Peter 5:10
Oh that word … “perfect.”
We all know—or we should know—that we are not perfect. Far from it. Only one Person who walked this earth was perfect: Jesus Christ. And He is God, so of course He’s perfect.
So how can we be “perfected”?
We become “perfected” here on earth by becoming more and more like Christ as we grow in Him. God—the “God of all grace”—is working in and through all of us who call ourselves by the name of His Son.
He molds us, refines us, encourages us, and guides us, and as we become more like Christ, we are “perfected.”
While we will never reach perfection this side of heaven, we can be “perfected.” We just need to devote our lives to the “God of all grace.”
