"Perfect in Christ Jesus!" Colossians 1:28

The believer painfully proves that he is imperfect in himself. Imperfection appears to be stamped . . .
upon all that he feels;
upon all his desires,
upon all his joys and sorrows;
and upon all he does. 

What says the sigh, which escapes from his heavy heart? 
Imperfect! 

What says the groan, which ascends from his troubled bosom?
Imperfect! 

What says the tear, which glistens in his eye, or rolls down his cheek?
Imperfect! 

But there is perfection in Christ! In Him there is . . .
a perfect atonement—to reconcile us; 
a perfect righteousness—to justify us; 
perfect holiness—to sanctify us; 
perfect wisdom—to direct and instruct us.

Our full and eternal perfection is decreed, promised, provided for. It will be realized in heaven, when we see Him as He really is—and shall be made like Him!

Delightful thought! We shall be perfectly holy and perfectly happy!
