You,
therefore, Must be Perfect as your Heavenly Father is Perfect
[That
is, grow in to complete maturity of godliness in mind and character,
Having
reached the proper height of virtue and integrity]. [Lev. 19:2, 18.]
(Matthew
5:48, AMP)
The
Lord said to Moses,
'Speak
to the all the Assembly of the Israelites,
You
shall be Holy, for I the Lord your God am Holy. [1 Pet. 1:15.]
(Leviticus
19:2, AMP)
As
the One Who called you is Holy,
You
yourselves also be Holy in all your conduct and manner of living.
For
it is written, You shall be Holy, for I AM Holy [Lev. 11:44, 45.]
(1
Peter 1:15, 16, AMP)
For
I AM the Lord your God;
So
Consecrate yourselves and be Holy, for I AM Holy;
Neither
Defile yourselves with any manner of thing
That
multiplies in large numbers or swarms. [1 Thess. 4:7, 8.]
For
I AM the Lord Who brought you up out of the Land of Egypt,
To
be your God;
Therefore
you shall be Holy, for I AM Holy. [1 Pet. 1:14-16.]
(Leviticus
11:44, 45, AMP)
You
shall be Blameless (and absolutely true) to the Lord your God.
(Deuteronomy
18:13, AMP)
Therefore,
since these [great] Promises are ours,
beloved,
let us Cleanse ourselves from Everything
That
Contaminates and Defiles body and spirit,
And
bring [our] Consecration to Completeness
In
the (reverential) Fear of God.
(2
Corinthians 7:1, AMP)
Him
we Preach and Proclaim,
Warning
and Admonishing every one
And
Instructing every one in all Wisdom,
[In
comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God],
That
we may Present every person Mature—
Full
Grown, Fully Initiated, Complete and Perfect--
In
Christ the Anointed One.
(Colossians
1:28, AMP)
Let
Endurance and Steadfastness and Patience have Full Play
And
do a Thorough Work,
So
that you may be [people] Perfectly and Fully Developed
(With
no Defects), Lacking in Nothing.
(James
1:4, AMP)
Does
God Almighty call us to something that is Impossible?
Is
it not a Fact that:
I
have Strength for All Things IN CHRIST Who Empowers me--
I
am ready for Anything and Equal to Anything
THROUGH
HIM who infuses inner strength into me,
[That
is, I am self-sufficient IN CHRIST'S SUFFICIENCY].
(Philippians
4:13, AMP)
For
His Divine Power has bestowed upon us All Things
That
[are requisite and suited] to life and godliness,
THROUGH
the (full, personal) knowledge of Him
Who
called us by and to His own Glory and Excellence (virtue).
By
means of these He has bestowed on us
His
Precious and Exceedingly Great Promises,
So
that THROUGH them you may Escape (by flight)
From
the Moral Decay (rottenness and corruption)
That
is in the World because of Covetousness (lust and greed),
And
become Sharers (partakers) OF THE DIVINE NATURE.
(2
Peter 1:3, 4, AMP)
Furthermore
I count Everything a Loss
Compared
to the Possession of the Priceless Privilege--
The
Overwhelming Preciousness,
The
Surpassing Worth and Supreme Advantage—
Of
Knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
And
of Progressively
Becoming
more Deeply and Intimately Acquainted with Him,
Of
Perceiving and Recognizing and Understanding Him
More
Fully and Clearly.
For
His sake I have lost everything
And
consider it all to be mere Rubbish (refuse, dregs),
In
order that I may WIN (gain) CHRIST, the Anointed One.
(Philippians
3:8, AMP)
We
are Called to be ONE, as the Father and the Son are ONE.
(John
17:11)
ONE
with the One Who is PERFECT!
