What does the Bible say about being perfect like God?

In Matthew 5:48, Jesus calls His followers to 'be ye perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.' This isn't a call to moral perfection in our actions, which no human can achieve, but rather a recognition of being deemed perfect in God’s sight through faith in Jesus Christ. Hebrews 10:14 supports this idea by stating that He has perfected forever those who are sanctified, indicating that true perfection is found in our union with Christ. A believer's standing before God is perfect because of Christ’s righteousness, not because they have achieved moral excellence on their own.
