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

Answered in 1 source

Being 'perfect in Christ' means that through Him, believers are entirely justified and accepted by God without condemnation.

The phrase 'perfect in Christ' reflects the complete justification and standing of believers before God based on Christ's righteousness. Colossians 1:28 states that we may present every man perfect in Christ, indicating that our perfection is derived from Him, not from our efforts or deeds. This assurance liberates believers from constant guilt and the need for self-justification. Instead, it calls us to rest in the finished work of Christ, who has made us acceptable to God, thereby allowing us to approach Him with confidence and joy knowing there is no condemnation.
