What does it mean to be perfect in Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

Being perfect in Christ means being justified and accepted by God through faith in Jesus' righteousness.

In the sermon, perfection is framed as a positional status granted to believers through their union with Christ. This concept correlates with Ephesians 1:4, which states that believers are chosen to be holy and blameless before God. The perfection discussed is not based on our own ability to live righteously but is a gift from God, achieved through the sacrificial death of Christ. When we fully trust in His righteousness, we can approach God not as guilty, but as blameless because of Christ's atoning work.
