Perfection, particularly on the flight operations side, is always our goal in the airlines. Spiritual perfection is also a goal for the believing airline person. The difference is that most people striving for perfection in operations on the flight line are doing it in their own strength. Such is not the case with the spiritual kind.
When we allow God to apply His nature to us by trusting in the “perfect man,” Jesus Christ, perfection becomes a gift received, not a goal we have achieved.
When the Bible says, “Be ye perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect,” perhaps it means allowing Him to remake us in His image. In that way, and that way alone, can a human being come to know what it means to have freedom from sin, the only freedom that is worth having. Someday, that freedom, like every part of who we are, will be perfected when we stand before our Savior.
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48 (KJV)
