In the Bible, the term "perfect" means to be "complete" or "mature" in our Christian life. To perfect something means to work at it until it is excellent and without flaws.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Being perfect and mature means that a Christian is obedient, not sinless.
|
||
|
|
* The New Testament book of James states that trials and patience produce completeness and maturity.
|
||
|
|
* When Christians study the Bible and obey it, they will become more spiritually perfect or mature because they will be more like God in their character.
