Jesus Enriches Us With Perfection

“Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 1:8

Jesus will enrich us with His perfection, so that we will be blameless until the end! “I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:23 We are enriched to perfection in our oneness with God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! We have been made perfect, so that the world will know that Jesus is of God. We are perfect so that the world will know that God loves us, just as much as He loves Jesus! Jesus did nothing to be perfect other than to be born of God and we too have been born of God! Jesus’ works did not make Him perfect; He was able to do the works because He was perfect, and God was perfect in Him! I have heard Christians say that the human condition is what limits us. Well, before Jesus it use to, but we have been saved and God just doesn’t say that we are saved; God says that we are born again. Just like Jesus was born, of a woman and of the Spirit, that is how we have been born again. Our humanity no longer limits God and He is now able to use all of us, just as He used all of Jesus, in perfection and in power and demonstration of His Spirit. He will do it, so that our faith does not stand in the wisdom of men, but of God! “The disciple is not above his master: but every one that be perfect shall be as his master.” Luke 6:40 We are not above Jesus; but by His power that is within us and by His Anointing that is enriching us, we have been made to be like Him! Just like Him! Jesus went to the Cross so that we could be. Jesus offered Himself on the Cross so that He might be the firstborn among many brethren and so that we could become joint-heirs with Him in glory!
