What does the Bible say about human perfection?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that God is perfect and demands perfection from us, even though we are inherently sinful.

The Bible continually emphasizes that God is the standard of perfection. In Psalm 37:37, David instructs us to observe the perfect man, highlighting God's ultimate perfection in holiness and righteousness. It is fundamental to understand that human perfection is unattainable due to our sinful nature, as Romans 3:10 states, 'There is none righteous, no, not one.' This reality does not diminish God's requirement; He calls us to be perfect as He is perfect (Matthew 5:48). Therefore, while we are incapable of achieving this standard ourselves, it points us to our need for grace.
