Reflections over the weekend - part 2 (by Roar)

"We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me." - Col 1:28-29

I've forgotten cleanly about this verse if not for the Lord's reminder. This was one key verse Pastor used to teach us last weekend. Is it possible to present everyone perfect in Christ? I realised that what Paul means here, is that the believer grows perfectly well in God. He walks with God, loves God and knows God and he's still growing. It is impossible to make everyone in the church perfect, but just like a baby who is perfect bcuz he has all his limbs and body parts in place. And when he reaches the right age, he starts reading and walking - perfect in whatever stage of growth he is. Based on this definition, not every believer can be deemed 'perfect', bcus not everyone of them are where they are. So we must labor in prayer and in our teaching and service so that we present everyone, you , me, us, perfect in Christ. Let's aim for perfection! Amen.
