JESUS' PROMISE

Jesus said, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48.
Can we be perfect? Yes, we can! Hundreds of thousands of us who do the will of God mentioned in Revelation were perfect or made perfect by God. The prophet Moses, the prophets Enoch, Abraham, Daniel, and others were some of the others. How could they do it? We must love Jesus if we want to be perfect! Jesus said, and here is His promise, "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.” Matthew 14:15, 21-24.
Jesus promises that if we love Him and keep His words, He will come to us and make His home our home. Jesus kept His promises. And we can take His promises to the banks and they will pay a premium price for them.
Bro, eternal life is not for everybody! "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide [is] the gate and broad [is] the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. "Because narrow [is] the gate and difficult [is] the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14.
Believing in Jesus that He will save us does not mean that He will save us. The men/women of great faith described in Matthew 7:21-23 believed that Jesus will save them. Instead, Jesus sends them straight to hell! No detour. Jesus said to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
We must be obedient to YHWH like the prophet Moses was. We must be obedient like Jesus was to His Father. That is the only way that we can be perfect.
