Why does the Creator call us perfect, when we know.(and so do our friends and family, right! Ha ha!).that we are far from being perfect most if not all of the time?

Consider the prostitute Rahab's example of being in grace.

God is in control of all and the evil is there for us to learn on this stage called Earth, what's good and what isn't. If you are not busy learning, then you are missing why you are here, so you can see the next entertaining TV program.

It's not our perfection that would ever count anyway. Look at the lesson in the book of Job:.Job 1:1 "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job and that man was perfect and upright and one that feared God and eschewed evil. Job 1:8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the Earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God and eschews evil?.Job finally came to realize that the perfection he was known for.(skim the other chapters of the Book of Job to see this).was nothing compared to God. Once he realized this, Job became very humble:.Job 42:1-6; 42:12

I'm sure you would agree that Job's life was as this:.1Peter 5:10 "But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Emmanuel, after that you have suffered a while, bring you into His perfection and stablish, strengthen, settle you." James 3:2 "For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man and able also to bridle the whole body."

Being perfect doesn't mean perfecting oneself:.1John 4:16,17; Being a perfectionist will rob your peace. Being a heartfelt lover of life will accelerate.spiritualness.

2Corinthians 7:1 "Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."

If we are alrady called perfect by God, then what is this."perfecting holiness".stuff all about?

It's speaking of one's standing with God once he or she is in Christ, even though each of us still have many things to learn. Perfection is what the real true good God, our Father in heaven, thinks of each one of us. And that because one follows Christ who made us perfect:.1John 4:17. In Christ we rise up further in consciousness and thus character. There are many levels of spiritualness, because God's creation is infinite. Earth time is just a springboard onward when aligned with the principles of God:.Matthew 22:36-40.

Knowing that in Him you are.perfect, brings peace. Knowing that in Him, that is, in Christ, you are perfect, requires faith.(what is faith?). And how do you know you are 'in God'?

It's His peace in you and not your trying to get perfect that counts. One could never reach the state of perfection God is in by working to be so.(*), only by accepting that it is so. Job learned that. We need to as well.

Being perfect comes from a shift in consciousness, a shift from negatives to the positive truths. Being perfect means one emphasizes the nature produced by high consciousness living

Christ's nature, which is love, is imparted to us, the more so that we think and act from high consciousness principles, as this lets in the divine current, as Bruno calls it. We are always thinking from something that triggers thought. Thinking is not work. It's how we are made.

We were made ok by what Christ did and kept ok by what's now being done:.Deuteronomy 32:4; Hebrews 13:21; 1Peter 5:10.

Once one has gone through the alerts stage and is deemed by God as being ready to be awakened, he or she is on the road to monitoring thoughts that may lead to actions not in line with the way of love's high consciousness principles. How do we do this?

Thoughts evoking from the side of the ego of us need to be circumvented, but sometimes, like the great apostle Paul who referred to himself as the chief of sinners, they just get the better of us, reigning for awhile and this drains our confidence in God, instead of building our faith that all dark side items have been looked after by Christ.

We like Paul and all other humans will continue to have the tendencytoward the ego and toward the dark side while on Earth in our fleshly form. It's the interplay of life that enables character to be formed by choices made.

God made us this way. God knows your heart for good and for evil too and tells us not to worry about it:.Romans 9:20 "...O man, who are you that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me this way?" 1John 3:20,21 "For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God."

Romans 4:17 "...God,...calls those things which be not, as though they were."

2Chronicles 19:11 "...Deal courageously and the Lord shall be with the good.".Spiritual support is for those who are examining themselves. How

Having a heart to move from that which is causing humanitys problems in which unwittingly, each of us has contributed, comes from one with a heart for wholeness, for oneness and for integrity.

Once on the road of perfection, the Creator considers it done:.Romans 4:17 "...God, who quickens the dead and calls those things which be not as though they were." Ephesians 4:13 "Till we all come in the unity of the faith.(oneness of the faith is us being in the family of the Creator:.John 17:21).and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.".(we are here to grow spiritually and in that our problems begin vanishing)

If the Creator is pleased to dwell in you, how come you are not pleased with you?.Colossians 2:13 "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh.(what does this mean?), has he quickened together with him, having forgiven you.all trespasses."

Hebrews 10:10,14 "...we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Emmanuel Christ once...For by one offering He has perfected holiness continually.for all humanity.

Hebrews 13:21 "Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Emmanuel the Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

2Corinthians 5:21 "For he has made him to be sin for us, he who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Perfection has to do with no longer having any conscience for sin and guilt.(Hebrews 10:1-3), that having been replaced by the blood of Christ:.Ephesians 2:13; 1Peter 1:18,19. It's done for you! And perfection has to do with having a relationship with God.

Job, whom the Creator called "a perfect man", went through severe trials.

And perfection is sealed in you if you love:.Colossians 3:14 "And above all these things put on charity.(word 'charity' means 'love' in the original), which is the bond of perfectness.".You are in a bond of perfectness once you have the Great Infinte One's nature of love in you:.Ephesians 4:24

The Creator created this thing called faith. The Creator's faith is given to us by the structured invisible program melded with our spirit, thus producing His Holy Nature in us:.1John 3:24; Philippians 2:5. Faith being one of God's attributes, is exercised by Him in His relationships with us. If you have God's spirit, it is 'as good as done' as far as your perfection and God are concerned:.Romans 4:17

Chuck Smith: "What does it mean to be perfect?" Let me ask you this: "What does it mean to be imperfect?" I understand that much better. The root word of 'sin' means 'missing the mark'. The root word of 'perfection' comes from 'hitting the mark'. To be perfect means to absolutely hit the mark, to be exactly what the Creator wants you to be.and that is, like He is!:.Philippians 2:5,6."

And you get there by belief in Him by simply accepting Him., which means to accept His nature of love as a standard for all your thoughts and actions. 
   Psalms 37:37.
