I am quoting from the wisdom of someone called Rick on here....The perfection is in the life of Jesus Christ.
We are changed into His image if we abide in Him.
This is not a quick thing.....it takes years.
This is the patience of the saints.
Who learn to continually rely on Him for their spiritual sustenance.
If we were already made perfect we would no longer rely on Him.
We are being conformed to His image. This is sanctification - (I Cor. 1:30), and it's a life long process.
I totally agree although may I say we can only abide in Christ as long as He abides in us...He is the vine and we are the branches..it is the vine that holds the branches on and not the other way around
