What does it mean that we are made perfect in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being made perfect in Christ means that through His sacrifice, believers are justified and declared righteous before God.

When Jesus states that believers are made perfect in Him, it indicates the theological concept of justification. This means that through Christ's atoning work on the cross, all sins are paid for, and believers are declared righteous in God's sight (John 17:23). This perfection is not based on our merit or performance but is entirely attributed to Christ’s obedience and sacrifice. The doctrine assures us that in Christ, we have a perfect standing before God, freeing us from the condemnation of sin and assuring us of eternal life. Thus, our perfection in Christ is both a present reality and a future hope of complete sanctification.
