Grace plays a central role in being made perfect, as it is through God's grace that we are transformed and made complete in Christ.
In the sovereign grace theology, understanding the role of grace in our perfection is essential. Grace is not simply a concept but is the means through which God has prepared everything we need for our spiritual completeness. In Ephesians 5:27, it speaks of Christ presenting the church to Himself 'a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.' This reflects that the perfection of the believers is a result of Christ's atoning work and God's grace bestowed upon us, which enables us to be made perfect in His sight. The interplay of God's eternal love and His grace assures us that our standing before Him is not based on our imperfect efforts but entirely upon His gracious provision.
