The Bible teaches perfection of character, not perfection of flesh or nature. Perfection is significant to every aspect of the saving acts of God:
- It takes a perfect sacrifice to purchase the salvation of the human race.
- It takes a perfect High Priest to complete the atonement for humanity.
- It takes the perfect character of God's chosen to give the answer to Satan's lie that Christ cannot secure victory in the lives of fallen humanity (Signs of the Times, January 16,1896).
- It takes the perfect character of God's faithful to assure the angels that they are safe to save.
- It takes the perfect character of God's people to fulfill the promises of God (2 Peter 1:4).
- It takes the perfect character of God's remnant to fulfill the purposes of the gospel.
- It takes the perfect character of God's surrendered ones to fit us for the Second Coming of Christ.
- It takes the perfect character of God's loyal ones to safeguard the harmony of the Universe.
This book helps the reader to fully understand the Bible's teaching of perfection of character in all of its aspects.
