How is perfection achieved according to Reformed theology?

In Reformed theology, perfection is understood as a status granted to believers through God's sovereign grace. The sermon emphasizes that any belief in progressive sanctification leading to eventual perfection overlooks the biblical truth that we are perfected now in Christ (Hebrews 10:14). Our standing before God is defined by Christ's righteousness, and this is a definitive and completed action, not based on our efforts or progress. As Paul writes in Philippians 3:9, we are to be found in Him, not having our own righteousness, but that which is through faith in Christ. Therefore, perfection is not a personal achievement but a divine gift received through faith.
