Matthew 5:48
How can get rid of the tyranny of perfection is the Bible itself is a calling us to be perfect? Simply stated, it is talking about two different things. The tyranny of perfection is about the shame of never living up to expectations on our strength in our current reality, but Christ call to perfection depends on Grace with the power of the Holy Spirit in the Kingdom of God. Matthew only presents us with the call to perfection after a complete presentation of the Kingdom blueprint. As we live into the new reality of the Kingdom, we are transform to the very nature that God intended all along.
