Matthew 5:48
You know when ever we are convicted of something that we are doing or saying wrong. We have a famous comeback “I’m not perfect”; well this is true we are not perfect. If we were, JESUS would not have had to come and go through all that HE went through for us.
However, that statement is a copout. GOD requires us to be perfect as HE is perfect. Don’t be scared because GOD already knows that you will never in your life time obtain perfection. What HE wants however, is for you to strive for perfection. Be completely different from those who do not know HIM.
In that striving for perfection all you need to do is grow into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity.
That’s not hard is it? GROW INTO MATURITY OF GODLINESS IN MIND AND CHARACTER.
- Accept JESUS as your SAVIOR
- Find a teaching church
- Attend church on a regular
- Study your Bible
- Socialize with other Believers of JESUS
- Recognize who you are to GOD
- Recognize who you are in GOD
- Find out what GOD want us to do and do it.
My small suggestion is that you begin in the book of John skip over to Acts and continue to read the remaining books then read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John again. After you have read the New Testament begin to read the Old Testament.
There are Bibles in American English and let’s not kid ourselves you need it. Do Not read a King James Version because all you are going to do is get frustrated and put the Bible down. 15th Century English is difficult especially when in today’s culture most people do not articulate their speech well. My suggestion would be that you read the English or New American Standard, New Century or New King James (prefer).
