What does the Bible say about perfection for believers?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are perfect in Christ, not in themselves, as their righteousness is fully imputed from Him.

In Philippians 3:15, the Apostle Paul urges believers to think as those who are perfect, referring not to personal moral perfection but to their completion in Christ. This reflects the idea that true believers are seen as complete in the eyes of God because of Christ's finished work on the cross. Their justification and righteousness come solely from Christ, ensuring that they are perfect from a spiritual standpoint despite ongoing struggles with sin in their daily lives.
