Mr. Perfect
The only way our righteousness will exceed the Pharisees and Sadducees, if to be clothed with the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
A pure heart is one in love with Jesus and then is awakened to the love of Father, for we realize then just how much we are loved by God.
Not that we won't lose our temper and speak angry words, but will have a repentant heart. Or whatever else our temptations may be. They get less as we walk with the Lord. Growing in grace and the graces of a Spirit filled life.
Is Father going to be horrified by our failures when He gave His Son for them before the world was created? He wasn't surprised by Adam and Eve because He knew the serpent would come.
He made the answer before the failures.

Paul is saying two things. We strive, we run, we learn, we aspire pushing forward, each step, one step at a time.
We only know when we meet Him how well we have done, but there is never a sense of compromise.
So aspirations can get lost in pride and boasting. If you can embrace this, amen.
But some use this like a check sheet, or a way of condemning or bringing one low and exalting another.
So we need to see this is Gods word and what He says about us and rejoice in this. Until all is made clear,
all we see is how to encourage and how to bless and serve. Praise the Lord. If I saw more I could not cope.
When I praise in church, if I can uplift my heart to God Amen.
He has taught me not to look at struggles of others, but the work He has already done in them, and the
expectation of how much further He will take them. It is hard, but how does He look at me? I hope with
the same eyes of grace and mercy, Praise the Lord.
