The Attainment of Christian Perfection
Phillipians 3:12
Assuming that God intends to transform us into flawless examples of His abilities is a deceptive notion. God's objective is to unite us with Himself. The primary focus of holiness movements is often centered around the idea that God is creating exemplars of holiness to be shown in His museum. If you embrace the notion of personal holiness, your life's ultimate objective will not be directed towards God, but rather towards what you perceive as the manifestation of God in your life. How can we assert that it is impossible for it to be within God's will for me to experience illness? If God deemed it necessary to afflict His own Son (Isaiah 53:10) according to His divine plan, there is no reason why He would not also afflict you. The manifestation of God in your life is not determined by your adherence to a predefined notion of saintliness, but rather by your authentic and dynamic connection with Jesus Christ, as well as your unwavering dedication to Him regardless of your physical condition.
Christian perfection is distinct from, and unattainable as, human perfection. Christian perfection refers to the state of having a flawless connection with God, which is evident even in the seemingly little areas of human existence. Upon heeding the summons of Jesus Christ, one immediately becomes aware of the futility of one's obligations. The subsequent realization that occurs to you is that other individuals appear to be leading impeccably coherent lives. These experiences could lead you to believe that God is not needed, and that you can achieve God's expectations for your life by your own human endeavor and dedication. It is impossible to achieve this in a world that has declined. I am compelled to exist in a state of absolute harmony with God, wherein my existence evokes a deep longing for God in the lives of others, rather than garnering admiration for myself. My self-reflections impede my effectiveness in serving God. The objective of God is not to refine me for the sole purpose of displaying me as an achievement in His collection; rather, He is guiding me towards a state where I might be effectively utilized by Him. Allow Him to exercise his autonomy.
