PERFECT IN CHRIST LIKENESS

God provides, calls and enables Christians to be PERFECT IN CHRIST LIKENESS. This article is not a definition or explanation of CHRIST LIKENESS. It is simply a statement that God calls and enables us to experience and exemplify perfect CHRIST LIKENESS.

As with all perfections and graces in the Christian life, it is the redemptive work of God in us that makes Perfect IN CHRIST LIKENESS possible. Perfect IN CHRIST LIKENESS is the presence and practice of SUBMISSION in us. This is a perfection of quality, not quantity. God's word is our authority.

Perfect In Christ Likeness
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

DLG notes… Though the word, "perfect" is not used in this verse, it is impossible to be any more perfect than to be CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF JESUS.

ADDENDUM... Remember, God's grace provides all we need for life and godliness.

Godliness is God likeness.
2 Peter 1:2-4
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
