God is perfect; we are not. But when He saves us, the Holy Spirit moves in and begins to transform our imperfections (1 Corinthians 6:19–20; 2 Thessalonians 2:13). God’s goal is that we become “conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:29). Although we know we will never attain absolute perfection in this fallen world, He wants us to pursue it (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:14–16). The pursuit itself is of great value because we are working in harmony with what God desires for us. God is perfect. Jesus is perfect. We become perfected as we keep our eyes on Him and seek to imitate Him in every choice we make (Hebrews 12:2–3; Ephesians 5:1).
