What of the person who is conscious of considerable moral imperfection, perhaps of the habit of grave sin, and is at the same time sincerely desirous of spiritual growth? Is that person to relinquish the quest for spiritual knowledge until he has first reformed his conduct? By no means. As a matter of fact any attempt to improve himself morally without spiritual aid is foredoomed to failure. The thing to do is to pray regularly and to throw the responsibility for success upon God.
The person must carry on, no matter how many times they may fail. Let them keep affirming that God is helping them, and that their own real nature is spiritual and perfect. In this way moral regeneration and spiritual unfoldment will go hand in hand. The Christian life does not require that we possess perfection of character, or else, which of us would be able to live it? What it does require is honest, genuine striving for that perfection.
…he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee (Job 36:4).
Perfection is an ideal, not a humanly achievable goal. But, we are to strive for perfection, knowing we will fall short in this world. Perfection is a direction toward which we should point our compass, it is not the path we tread on our journey. We will attain our best good if we keep our course pointed in the direction of perfection.
Direction perfection,
