Jesus commands that we be “perfect” (Matthew 5:48); therefore, how does a sinner attain perfection and thereby please the Father?

If man was capable of keeping the Law unto perfection, Jesus died needlessly (Galatians 2:21); therefore, the only “perfection” offered mankind is the sinless perfection of Jesus gifted-imputed into the life of the one who “believes” by faith that Jesus is Messiah who died for them (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21) thereby initiating New Covenant promise of forgiveness (Hebrews 8:12) and subsequently a life lived through the indwelling Holy Spirit via daily Christian sanctification (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16), a life producing divine “fruit” that honors the Father (John 15:8) and fruit that will endure the BEMA Judgment of Messiah (Galatians 5:16-23; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15).

Divine Perfection is NOT attainable in this life via human effort as we’re all sinners under condemnation (Romans 3:23; Romans 8:1+); therefore, Jesus offers us His perfection via His blood atonement if we will trust in Him as our “perfect” “sinless” Messiah (1 Peter 1:18-19) and thereby find peace with our Heavenly Father via what Jesus did for us at Golgotha (Matthew 26:28), not what we can do for ourselves through vain attempts to keep laws, days, diets, traditions (Galatians 2:16; Romans 5:1).
