The word for today is- Perfection!

Good morning,
The word for today is- Perfection!
Can we attain perfection? Let's look at Hebrews 6:1,Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God. The  process toward eternal life is a matter of achieving perfection. Living all the commandments guarantees total forgiveness of sins and assures one of exaltation through the perfection which comes by complying with the formula the Lord gave us. Being perfect means to triumph over sin. This is a mandate from the Lord. He is just and wise and kind. He would never require anything from his children which was not for their benefit and which was not attainable. Perfection therefore is an achievable goal. God invites us to participate in the kingdom of heaven.Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your heart, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, then by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in no way deny the power of God.Jesus is full of grace and truth.  The fullness of the Godhead dwelled in Him. The Scripture also says that the Spirit of God was given to Him without measure. Read John 3:34, For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.  It says that we have received a portion“of” His fullness.  We get a portion of His fullness, and of His grace.  Individually, we will never reach the point of having all of His fullness in our lives.  However, that does not mean that we are not holy, and that we are not partaking of the divine nature.Read Hebrews 7:19,"For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God."Thank you God for your word. Amen !
