How do we know that God demands perfection for acceptance?

Answered in 1 source

God's demand for perfection is clear in Leviticus 22:21, specifying that offerings must be without blemish to be accepted.

The doctrine that God demands perfection for acceptance is affirmatively stated in Leviticus 22:21, where it declares that sacrifices must be perfect to be accepted by God. This principle reflects God's holiness and justice, revealing that He cannot accept anything less than absolute perfection. In our worship and offerings, we are reminded that mere good efforts or sincere intentions are insufficient. God’s standard of perfection inevitably points us to Christ, whose flawless life and sacrificial death satisfy the requirements of God's law fully. As believers, we find solace in the reality that while we are imperfect, Christ's perfect righteousness is credited to us, making us acceptable before God.
