In Matthew 5:48, Jesus calls us to be perfect, just as our Father in heaven is perfect. Dr. Burge explores the significance of striving for perfection in our walk with the Lord.
He starts by illustrating the importance of aiming for perfection and why 99.9% defect-free is not good enough. We live in an imperfect world, but we serve a perfect God. God's perfection is reflected in His works, His ways, and His Word.
The sermon concludes with a call to strive for Christlikeness, understanding that while we are declared righteous through faith in Jesus, our journey towards perfection continues through progressive sanctification. Let's aim for perfection in our pursuit of Christlikeness, guided by God's perfect work, way, and Word.
