Ephesians 4:13 KJV till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Or consider the Amplified Bible version as well…..
Ephesians 4:13 AMP until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity].
Jesus through Apostle Paul said that we mature into the fullness of Christ within. We were created through Jesus, the life. Once separated by the veil of sin, but now, through the cross, we pass back through Jesus.
This is a spiritual awakening of our true identity as son’s and daughter’s of God.
He matures us into His perfection, becoming one with Him.
Hebrews 10:14. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
The truth is, if we abide in Him and Him in us, we are one with Him, in His perfection.
Many times I have said that I am not perfect, and sensed in the Spirit that these words affected me negatively.
When I look at what God says about me, in Christ, I find this perception contrary to the word of God.
While this is true if we walk according to the flesh, but we don’t because we are a new creation, the old has passed away.
Romans 8:12-13. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
God sees me as perfect in Christ, because the blood of His perfect Son cleansed me of all iniquity and unrighteousness.
Through His perfect love at the cross, Jesus and the fullness of God indwells us, in perfect union.
In time we mature into perfection, through the Holy Spirit.
When I make a mistake. God is perfecting me through it, giving me His riches in wisdom and understanding.
I declare, I am being perfected, thank you Jesus.
James 1:4. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
If we have been crucified in Christ and walk in the Spirit of God in perfect union with Him, we have been perfected. Because, it is no longer I who live but Christ in me, absolute perfection.
When we say/declare we are not perfect, we deny this truth.
But when we declare, Christ’s perfection reigns supremely through us, we are in oneness with our creator and aligned with the truth of the Kingdom of Heaven within.
Humility is imperative, but so is acknowledging Christ within.
We lack absolutely nothing, a living sacrifice, the essence of God, a perfect reflection of Him.
Mathew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Glory to Jesus
God bless.
