A "perfect" person, in their relationship with God…

What does it mean to be "perfect"? 🤔
...In relation to God, it means being "sincere" and "genuine."

✳️Serving God sincerely and with genuine sincerity.
...However,
no matter how virtuous a Christian a person may be...they can never be perfect...😓
...Perfect → Righteous!
Those who trust in God and, when they realize their sin, can honestly
"repent" are considered "perfect."
...Abraham...continues after this...and it is written that he made a covenant with God!
Verse 2~.
...Deuteronomy 7:9 says
"The covenant of grace will be kept to a thousand generations for those who love the Lord and keep his commands..."
...it says!

However,
know that trials 😰 will also come!

…Abraham, too, through numerous trials and failures, never strayed from God❗️

…That leads to blessings.

…Many Christians pray for blessings…but temptation comes…and they stray from God or the church…😱
They are unable to receive blessings…

…The devil's purpose is…how🤔
to separate you from Christ…🧐
He lays out a web of traps and temptations, waiting.

…Let's wake up this morning, pray, and start the day❗️

Shalom😃
