No one is perfect. One look at our world (and ourselves) is
full proof of that. But the way people respond to that fact varies greatly.
Some say that since we will never be perfect there is no need to try. Others
make perfection their absolute, immovable standard and will not accept anyone
who falls short. But what is right?
The Bible says:
Romans 3:23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
for all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God
But it also says:
Matthew 5:48 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Therefore you are to be perfect, as
your heavenly Father is perfect.
How do we reconcile these two ideas?
