* 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.
