Towards Perfection....

We have been called unto perfection as those who have been perfected in their Spirits. Our understanding of perfection would determine how much we express that 'already-accomplished' perfection in our Spirits. We must understand the scope of the work of Christ. It wasn't just to merely forgive us or to justify us, but to make us God's righteousness; his perfection! The life we live today is for a purpose; expressing that perfection! We must understand that  perfection is in degrees; to the degree that we are filled with the revelation of who we are in Christ and who Christ is in us! Ephesians 4:13, 'Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:' This is remarkable! Here we are told that the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the son of God are unto a perfect man. The Word, 'unto' is from the Greek word, 'eis'. 'Eis' means, 'towards an end, for the purpose of'. 'Unity' is from the Greek word, 'henotes'. It means, 'oneness, unanimity'.  The unity of the faith is our degree of unanimity with truth. It's that oneness which faith perpetuates. God's purpose for faith is to lead us into a oneness of experience and participation with what we believe. The knowledge of the son of God is that revelation of the son of God that makes us his fleshly expressions. These all lead to the perfect man; the fullness of Christ! More than ever before, there is a need to look into the mirror of God's Word and agree with God that we are whosoever he says we are! Then, we would be changed from one level of glory, one level of perfection to another- 2 Corinthians 3:18. This is God's grand dream! #Pleroma
