—Matthew 5:43-48
by: Victoria Shephard.
Verse 48 tells us to be perfect, as God is perfect. But is this even possible? I don’t know about you, but I can’t get through a single day without needing God’s forgiveness for something. Sometimes I can’t even get through a single hour. I am far from the ideal espoused here.
I think God knows we will never be perfect as long as we are living in this fallen world in these mortal bodies. Still, we are to reach for the unreachable, that we may come as close to it as possible.
