Sinless Perfectionism is Really False

"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." James 1:3-4

When will this perfect work be completed? when the trial of our faith is completed. When will that be?

"Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him." James 1:12

The trial ends when he receives the crown of life. That crown will be received when we meet Jesus in the air. Thus, perfection comes when we see Jesus, not before!

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Phil 1:6

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2

"12Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you." Phil 3:12-15

Makes so much sense.

We will never get to the point of perfection,though we can insure ourselves that we can gradually get better at not sinning,because the seed of God grows and we become closer to God!

Nice video,keep up the work!

@YourNumberOneSource THAT is a very wise response! Praise the LORD!!!

[AlYassou3Rabbi]

Paul said concerning sin, that which I hate, I do. Why didnt he say, that which I hate, i did?

Paul said concerning sinners, "Of whom I am Chief" Why didnt he say "Of whom I was Chief"?

If I say I hath not sin, the love of God is NOT IN ME and I am none of his.

If I was a perfect sinless being after salvation, why would I need an advocate, and why would Lucifer be steady nagging God about my actions.

Why, because I am a sinner in need of Grace.

Lord have mercy on me a sinner!

[eDrifter1]

Once upon a time I tried so hard to be perfect.

I feel the Lord told me not to be so upset that I was not perfect in my own eyes.

That this leads only to frustration.

That those of us that are His and have that conflict between flesh and spirit RAGING inside, we are precious and lovely to Him.

That HE changes us, creates.

To let HIm give us love, joy, peace.

Nobody or anything else can.

Not good deeds for a pat on the back and admiration and praise o men.

Not some pill the Dr gives you.

He took part of the same, He cannot be our judge unless He faced the same if not more temptation that we faced, if He had come in flesh that was sinless, temptation would not have had the same power over Him, He came to show us that we can overcome our sin just as He did, by faith, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Heb 4:15 but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

@Harvesttime144

My friend you are contradicting yourself, the scriptures tell us plainly:

Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

[Enoch2]

@Harvesttime144 Yes, the Lord did not have sinful flesh. It is His body that was offered for sin (Heb 10:10) and He was the spotless Lamb of God (1 Peter 1:19). Look up the Scriptures, theonewillcome.

"And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." Luke 1:35

"That holy thing" means NO SIN IN HIM--including His flesh!

[theonewillcome]

@Harvesttime144

My friend, a sinful body does not mean that He committed sin, a sinful body means that He was in a body that came through a bloodline that was marred by sin, He was manifested in a weak fleshly body that had the propensity to sin, He however did not yield to temptation, He did not sin.

God cannot be tempted, so in order for Him to face temptation, he had to come in sinful flesh.

Shalom!

You should do a video exposing youtube false teachers 1onetheone and finalcall07. Both teaching that dangerous sinless perfection heresy.

[sheepfax]

The old nature is still like being tied to a dead man (an old Roman turture technique). To be perfect, you need serveral things like a perfect environment, a new nature and a new body of perfection. I really don't see how perfection is the goal in the first place since we have grace. In a perfect environment all you need is total control so you go around thinking, "oh I hope I don't sin." Rest assured, this is entirely possible, but not here, not now, not yet. Sin is dissobedience to God.
