Let's Move To Perfection Part II

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment." Hebrews 6:1-2

Look at what the Holy Spirit has Paul write to us: that faith towards our Father is considered to be a beginning principle of Christ. Our Father tells us to move on past this basic belief to perfection. Let’s move on past baptisms; let’s move on past the laying on of hands, and move past eternity? These principles are the main focuses of many churches today, and obviously they were over a thousand of years ago as well. But there is more and our Father wants us to go there and through the power of Christ He will take us.

Our Father is taking us to perfection through Jesus, plain and simple, Jesus is our example of perfection. So let’s consider Jesus, let’s move on towards His standard. The first thing to remember is our example of perfection repeatedly said that it was God within Him doing all of the works. The people talked about the miraculous works that Jesus did and He said that it was God within Him Who did the works. They called Jesus good, and He said none was good but God, Mark 10:18. Jesus, our example of perfection, was perfect because God made Him that way. Jesus never spoke of Himself as the Author of perfection. He also never spoke of His own efforts allowing Him to be perfect.

Jesus was perfect only because our Father made Him that way and God made Jesus perfect by making Him of Himself! The two were and are One! Now, who are we one with? Who are we born of? Whose body are we? Who gave us a new heart? Whose Spirit abides within us, and Whose mind do we now have? Whose seed are we born from? When we are born again, we were born just as Jesus was, of a woman and of God! Jesus is perfect because of God, and God loves us just as He loves Him! And through Christ we are now one with God, as Jesus is One with God.
