I have been reading books since my primary school days till now but have never read a book that is tasking as reading my BIBLE.
Many passages of the scripture tends to be difficult and complex to understand.

One of those passages is Matthew 5:48 that Jesus was speaking to the mutitude that came to listen to his wise words.

Though, he said many complex/proverbial words but one of such is when he said thus, ''Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect'' Matthew 5:48 .

My question now is, how can we be perfect in this polluted world and how can we know that we have attained that 'perfection'?

That you should run away from sin. . .

.Walk Away by Renne

"And they asked him 'who then can be saved?' and he answered and said yee unto them "With men these things are not possible but with God all things are possible"

Brother you only have to live by Faith on the answer Jesus give above. One thing Christ said emphatically and plainly "All that the Father gave me I will raise up the last day". No sure heaven is yours and care less about living by your power but more about Faith.

Thanks for your contribution

Pls ask him, no one is his interpreter......

Be ye perfect to me means we at all time,should endeavour to do thing right,and be of best to our ability..

And also try to walk the ways of the Lord,by being righteous,because our God is a righteous God,and He's perfect.

He meant what he said. Be ye perfect. Same words were spoken unto Abraham. In other words, behave as God would behave. Any man who befriends thieves will one day steal. A man who befriends God will one day behave like God in the end. So, it is possible. Jesus was the prototype of God's perfection for Man and that which men can attain; a perfection that's higher than the angels. No wonder we are told in Hebrews that we should consider our heavenly calling. We have been called unto His perfection. Perfection is possible if we all yield. Why we are struggling is because we are not yielding and forces will come against you when you want to be like the Father.

Be ye perfect- Be like Him in all things.
