The Gift of Perfection

The bible says that in the beginning Adam the man was perfect and his helper was comparable to him. A gift from Almighty God, with everlasting life.

Most of us remember the sin that lead to death, then the resurrection hopes. Do we believe we can come to know perfection leading to everlasting life again? Some say by grace, some say faith, while others say through accurate knowledge of truth.

Let’s address accurate knowledge of truth first. Are we dying? If you ask someone, “Do you want to live forever?” Most say, “No”! If you ask them, “Would you like to die”? Most say, “No”, while others may say, “Yes”. Now ask those that say yes, “Would today be a good day for you to die”? You’ll discover their real feeling about their truth.
If they had accurate knowledge of truth, they would know this:

Matthew 22:32
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
If you know God the father, you will never die. Whether you call him Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Almighty God, The Father; knowing your heavenly father means, you never die.
Let’s look at Grace. The bible says:
Ephesians 2:8-9 English Standard Version (ESV)
8. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9. not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
The grace contrast is only for the purpose of man not being able to boast about anything he does from having faith.

Now faith

Hebrews 11:5-6. 5. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. alone.

However, the bible is clear regarding perfection before the ransom sacrifice of Jesus.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus also said:
Mathew 12:50 “For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
He’s saying, if you are like me, you can come to the Father because he, “The Father”, recognizes you as an heir.

The blood brother of Jesus said:

James 2:14-26 New King James Version (NKJV)

Faith Without Works Is Dead

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my[b] works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Truth is good, it establishes evidence, grace is good, as it shows love and can only be given by Father God, faith is good because it pleases God. But for perfection, he and she, them, man and woman must produce works according to their faith in God Almighty.

James 5: 19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Pray for those who are no longer present with us and are in the sight of God. In the meantime, lets work toward perfection.
