“My hope is not in my moral progression but the cross of Jesus Christ alone.”

When we seek to be perfect according to man’s standards we have missed the mark. Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love for it sums up the law and the prophets.
When we show forth the love of Christ to a dying world and our brothers and sisters in Christ, we have fulfilled Christ’s commandments.
Love makes perfect (whole not lacking anything) because God is love.
Perfection according to man’s standards yields the fruit of “self-righteousness”.It says, Look at me instead of look at Him.
