Why is it important for Christians to understand their perfection in Christ?

Recognizing that we are perfected forever in Christ is crucial for Christians as it underpins our assurance of salvation. Hebrews 10:17 emphasizes, 'And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.' This promises that God will not recall our sins against us once they are atoned for by Christ. Grasping this truth liberates believers from the shackles of guilt and anxiety over sin, fostering a deep sense of gratitude for God’s grace and a desire to live in accordance with His will, as we are reminded in Ephesians 1:4-5 that we are chosen and marked by grace.
