Strong's 1722: In, on, among. A primary preposition denoting position, and instrumentality, i.e. A relation of rest; 'in, ' at, on, by, etc. The gospel alone is sufficient to rule the lives of Christians everywhere – any additional rules made to govern men’s conduct added nothing to the perfection already found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” I understand that I’m not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that’s happened to me, good and bad. ― Dwayne Wade James 2:22 is a very important parallel. “You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works.” The word behind “completed” is the same as the word behind “perfected” in our text. How do works perfect faith? Not by making it flawless faith but by making it active faith. In other words, faith is imperfect until it reaches its goal in good works. Then we can speak of it as “perfected” faith — not because it is flawless and beyond the need for improvement, but because it has attained the goal of action.

Here two things are combined to secure our cleansing from sin: one is the blood of Jesus; the other is walking in the light. Only one atones for sin, namely, the blood of Jesus. But it does not atone for everyone. It atones for those who walk in the light. The Perfection in Love depicts the love story of the fairly newly married couple Oyin and Henry. The novel does not only stay there but moves on to deal with how challenging marriage and love can be. At first I thought it would be from a perspective of rose tinted glass, however, it does more: it depicts love and marriage, warts and all. Harper KL, Eddington KM, Silvia PJ. Perfectionism and Effort-Related Cardiac Activity: Do Perfectionists Try Harder? PLoS One. 2016;11(8):e0160340. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0160340 Perfection is overrated, boring. It’s the imperfections-the vulnerabilities, the weaknesses, the human elements-that make us who we are, that make us real, beautiful…necessary. ― Guy Harrison Did you remember your Valentine’s week? You may remember your love or the gifts but what about the place where you got this. Observation in love makes you perfect. According to me parks and gardens are made to add richness to the memories of love. They are the best place to confess your love. But it’s all the fake thing. Don’t think too much about the location or how can we call the person to such place?, will he be comfortable here? This thing doesn’t matter. What matters is that the person is comfortable with you. After all he has to spent his life with you.However, perfection is more of a process than it is an outcome to a situation. It’s something we continually pursue in our quests for greatness. Perfection Quotes If you’re seeking perfection in relationships, you’re probably extremely egocentric and very fragile when it comes to managing any kind of conflict. In fact , you’re like a big child who just wants everything to go your way. That’s why you call anything that matches what you want “perfect” and you label anything that doesn’t “imperfect”.

And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town. I think my only criticism would be that at times I wanted more from the characters. I wanted to get to know Oyin and Henry as two individuals; not just what they are like and how they act within their relationship. Also, I thought Olive (Henry’s childhood best friend) was an interesting character and I would have liked to have read and got to know her a bit more, especially about her past too. And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who does right is born of him. John tells us “God is love” (1 John 4:8). It isn’t just that God does loving things; He actually is love. Love is what defines Him. John also tells us that God’s love is perfect (v17-18). Now the second clause of the verse says that the result of having love perfected with us is that we have confidence for the day of judgment. “In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment.” By Putting God’s Love into Action for Others

Beauty In Imperfection Quotes

In verse 17 John tells us how to have confidence or boldness on the day of judgment. And in verse 18 he tells us how to cast fear out of our lives. These are simply positive and negative ways of saying the same thing: getting rid of fear is the negative way of saying become confident. To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin." Does your congregation expect that persons with leadership responsibility are "earnestly striving after perfection in love?" Why or why not? Notice the tremendous confidence of verse 2: we know we will be like him when he comes! That’s boldness at the day of judgment! Now, what is the proof of this confident hope? Verse 3: “Everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.” The proof is the same as in 1 John 4:17, “As he is so are we in the world.” We share his purity and so assure ourselves that we truly hope in him.
