Builds on previous blog, Unto perfection…
I was thinking about His love today and Hebrews 6:1 popped in my skull. I went and looked around for the Greek words elsewhere matching the same or root word for “perfection” in Hebrews 6:1.
These are some verses I found:
- Heb. 6:1, “..let us go on unto perfection..”
- Let us our hearts be established by His grace and no longer be under law.
- Col. 3:14, “And above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness.”
- Only His love and grace can be the unseen spiritual ligaments that fitly join His Body into One Body.
- Rom. 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
- Knowledge and understanding of His will (Col. 1:9) through His Son unveiled in us, Gal. 1:12,16
- 1 John 4:18, ” There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear hath torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.”
- There is not torment1 in His love, Rom. 8:34.
- The fear of the judgment and penalty of the law will torment the judged, but He became a curse for us!, Gal. 3:13. And bought us back into the Father’s family into His Kingdom, Col. 1:13.
- Eph. 4:13, “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:”
- I believe this perfect man is Col.1:19 manifested in the Church universal.
- Phil. 3:15, “Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded..”
- Col. 1:28, “Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:”
- Col. 4:12, “Epaphras, who is [one] of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.”
- Heb. 5:14, “But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age (perfect), [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
- James 1:4, “But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
- James 3:2, “For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.”
- 1 Cor. 13:10,13 “But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away (Aramaic:”nullified”)…And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.”
