What does the Bible say about perfect acceptance before God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are perfect before God because of their union with Christ.

In Leviticus, the requirements for the priesthood indicate that only those without blemish can offer sacrifices to God. This mirrors the perfection of Christ, who is our perfect High Priest and sacrifice. Believers are seen as perfect in Christ, despite their inherent sinfulness, as God’s acceptance is not based on their works but on Christ’s righteousness imputed to them. Romans 7 reinforces this idea of inner struggle, affirming that while we serve God with our minds, our flesh remains subject to sin. Hence, our relationship with God is secure in Christ, who has accomplished the necessary perfection for us.
