True Christian can be perfect
Levi Jones
I get so tired of false Christians and atheists claiming we are not. Did you know, the Bible more often preaches on perfection and holiness than the idea that we are all worthless sinners? If you are a Christian, and still living in sin, stop it right now! You have no excuses!
Psalm 119:1-4 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
Here God tells Abraham that perfection is achievable.
Genesis 17:1 I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
I can hear some panties getting into a twist over these scriptures. Perhaps you think, that’s Old Testament. The Bible says, “for all have sinned.” That was prior to our Salvation. I would like to draw your attention to:
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
How could we not be perfect if Jesus himself admonishes us to be perfect?
How could we not be perfect if Jesus himself admonishes us to be perfect?
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
In the Book of Luke, Jesus tells us that in becoming perfect, we are like God.
Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
In many of the Epistles, the authors tell us that we are perfect and can be unblameable in holiness, free from sin and a new creation as our Master Who is in Heaven wants us to be.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Ephesians 4:22-24, 26
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Romans 6:20-23 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
Colossians 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
In the Book of Luke, Jesus tells us that in becoming perfect, we are like God.
Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

1 Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
Colossians 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Colossians 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.Philippians 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
And most importantly,
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

False Christians like to like about these verses saying it means you don’t make a habit of sinning. Every single time they attempt this, they completely ignore verse 9 that says “He cannot sin”. I don’t know why they lie about it. I guess they feel there’s more money in it to tell people they are worthless and sick all the time even when they are true believers. Maybe it is because misery loves company. They know they are not True Believers and that they still sin, so they must make you believe you are as well.
They will also dredge up 1 John 1:8 out of context, completely ignoring that is prior to salvation. Every time they do that, they are claiming God’s Word is contradictory. How can John be saying we are all sinners and liars if we say we aren’t, but then turn around 2 chapters later and say we cannot sin? He can’t be. You have to read the entire book in context!
Whatever the reason, they are lying to you. If you are a True Christian, God tells us you cannot sin. End of story.
I don’t know about you, but I feel pretty darn good knowing I am PERFECT without sin or blemish. I can’t wait until we sit on the right hand of God himself and judge the world come rapture time, my perfect brothers and sisters.
No one was perfect except Jesus!
Wrong! I wanted to add a list of a few perfect people in the Bible besides Jesus for those you who don’t believe there was anyone else who was ever perfect.
Luke 1:5-6 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
God speaking to Ezekiel.Ezekiel 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
David speaking to God.
Psalm 101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.And2 Samuel 22:22-24 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.Perhaps you don’t think the New Testament word rendered as perfect actually means perfect. Maybe you think it means mature? Then this section is for you. Perfect in the New Testament is τέλειος teleios. Some say this means mature. Some modern translations even render it as such in some parts of the Bible. But then when it comes to these verses, teleios suddenly means perfect again.
Romans 12:2.
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
Does that mean God’s will is “mature?” Of course not. It’s the same Greek word teleios.
See Hebrews 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Again, it’s the same Greek word telios. I seriously doubt you would call Jesus a mature tabernacle, would you?
Could it be that the translators of the newer translations are pressured into accepting Calvinist doctrine on total depravity?
I’ll let you be the judge
