A PROMISE TO BE PERFECT
Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 18:13
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48
God truly expects us to be perfect. And with such hope and heavenly promises ahead, we really should walk in this expectation. So here's a perfect 7 ways to walk in perfection.
1. Be filled and flowing in the Spirit. Eat Scriptures! (They really are sweet like honey!) Drink in the presence of God through prayer and meditation. Spend time with God in the Word...and worship Him. Listen to God and love Him. Mostly, pray in the Spirit; speak in tongues. Sing spiritual songs.
2.Have true FAITH. Know that God has everything under control. He is Sovereign over every situation, and nothing happens outside of his rule. Pray believing-- and remember that all things shall work together for your good as you are called according to His purposes. Always work out your faith, demonstrating the power and glory of God.
3.Repent. Confess your sins. Cleanse your heart. Turn from your wicked ways.
4.Walk in Forgiveness. There's so much to be upset about down here, but we must remember that Christ forgave us-- so we must forgive others. Keep the cross in mind as you forgive trespasses and debts daily. Pray the Lord's prayer.
5. Keep your word. Honor your promises.
6. Develop a life of Holiness, purity, love and obedience.
7. Witness to the unbeliever; preach the Gospel; be Light in the world.
