Forget About Matthew 5:48, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father” →
good luck to fulfill this literally in any lifetime... This is hyperbole to emphasize the
seriousness of our walk, to make our best honest effort.
But, the truth of the matter is that we continue to be sinners saved by grace, both
as part of the fallen human race and individually. We are to crucify our sinful flesh daily.
But, even with the help of the Holy Spirit the goal is betterment not perfection. And we
will always need His grace & forgiveness throughout our lives (1 John 1;8-2:2)
Also God treats & relates to us both as a community with common elements &
requirements and as individuals who from our DNA, our family systems, cultures and
religions, we are unique to Him and treats us with this in mind. God doesn’t have a strict
cookie cutter mentality. He treats us as His individual children.
