moral perfection


Paul continues to address the issue of sin, as presented in the previous chapter, that we are all alike in sin, no one better or worse than another. He explains that it is through the law that we can understand our sin, and we are to be justified through the grace of Jesus Christ. Long story short, we are sinners, not "good enough" for heaven, and the solution is the righteousness of God.

Righteousness could be defined as "moral perfection". Thats a pretty big definition, big shoes to fill. How are we to become "morally perfect"? Whenever "perfect" comes along, i immediately know that it isnt achievable; nothing in this world can really be "perfect". If you look at the world today, nothing is perfect, electronic companies are always trying to come out with a better product, when you get 100% in school, there is always a comment about improvement, it just never ends. But if you notice, everyone is pushing and striving for this ideal image of "perfection".

And I think as Christians we should also be always striving for righteousness. Through prayer, with service, and learning about the knowledge of God through the Bible, everything we do should always been veered towards honouring and lifting up God's holy name.

this is our goal: righteousness.
so are you striving for it?

verse of the day: Romans 3:22-24
22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his gracethrough the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
