![]() ![]() God shall live in, fill, and rule your hearts and, in what He fills and influences, neither Satan nor sin can have any part. "Can we be fully saved from sin in this world?" is an important question, to which this text gives a satisfactory answer: " Ye shall be perfect, as your Father, who is in heaven, is perfect." - As in his infinite nature there is no sin, nothing but goodness and love, so in your finite nature there shall dwell no sin, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus shall make you free from the law of sin and death, Romans 8:2. ![]() He calls himself LOVE, to teach us that in this consists that perfection, the attainment of which he has made both our duty and privilege: for these words of our Lord include both a command and a promise. ![]() God has many imitators of his power, independence, justice, c., but few of his love, condescension, and kindness. The words are very emphatic, εσεσθε ουν υμεις τελειοι, Ye shall be therefore perfect - ye shall be filled with the spirit of that God whose name is Mercy, and whose nature is love. Be ye therefore perfect - as your Father - God himself is the grand law, sole giver, and only pattern of the perfection which he recommends to his children. (I.)
