In the Bible, the term "perfect" means to be mature in our Christian life. To perfect something means to work at it until it is excellent and without flaws.
* The term "perfect" also has the meaning of being "complete" or "whole."
* The New Testament book of James states that persevering through trials will produce completeness and maturity in the believer.
* When Christians study the Bible and obey it, they will become more spiritually perfect and mature because they will be more like Christ in their character.
