Be Ye Therefore Perfect

The bible uses the word perfect, blameless, upright, and other words to command us to pursue and become perfect in this life. But what does it actually mean to be perfect, and how are we to measure our state of perfection, and perfect according to who’s standards. I’ve realised that in the world and many churches the word perfect has been taught to be seen as unattainable or un realistic. And many will tell you that the bible does not expect you to be perfect because your faith is enough, when really people give us the idea of perfection being unattainable, for you to always have an excuse to sin.
