IN OUR WORLD TODAY, WHO REALLY IS PERFECT?
18:32
Before a word is used, we must have a great deal of information and understanding on what that word means. Hence, What is Perfection?
Perfection is a state of being complete,
attaining the highest state of excellence, maturity, being entirely divine and
faultless.
Even the bible has never referred to anyone as being perfect
except our Lord Jesus Christ. David was chosen and anointed by God still was
not perfect. King Solomon was the wisest man on earth, he still was not
perfect. If humans were perfect, why then did our Lord Jesus Christ die on the
cross? Who then are the sinners he died for?
In the same bible, during Jesus’ time on earth, I recall a story
of the adulterous woman brought to Jesus by the Jews, protesting that she be
stoned to death for her sins in accordance with the laws of the land. But Jesus
answered saying,” if there be anyone among you that is without sin he should be
the first to cast a stone at this woman. Just as he thought, they all dispersed
one after the other knowing that they were all sinners. For all have
fallen short of his glory, we are all sinners o no comparison and according to
the definition of perfection(being entirely divine), sin is no attribute of a
perfect person.
Once upon a time, we lived in a world driven by love and
oneness(unity). Man could easily rely on his neighbor, man could easily Vogue
for his own brother, man could easily rely on relatives for support in times of
need, but those things are now of old. Today we live in a world where Trust is
in extinction, morals and values are seen as being irrelevant, manners no
longer a criteria, money now the major determinant of every area of a man’s life,
here he goes, his friends, where he sleeps, where he goes, etc. Evil roams
around even in broad day light,betrayal now mistaken for wisdom, promises now
an escape route, hence disappointment is the order of the day. Education no
longer a yastic, no longer a determinant of what and who a man becomes, no
longer a stepping stone even for the poor who strives through school. War now a
way of life, peace now considered irrelevant and a waste of time, emotions
being toiled with, false witness risen everywhere, beliefs no longer held close
to the heart, immorality now the reigning system. Brothers betray brothers,
sisters betray sisters, wives kill husbands, the poor being oppressed by the
rich, adultery now mistaken for wisdom. I could go on with this list, a lot of
things happening around us and committed by us. Men of God committing adultery,
stealing from their congregations, divorcing their wives, engaging in rituals
and other fetish acts. Who really is perfect?
In our simple day-to-day activities, we may find ourselves in
certain situations where lying is the only way out, unmarried persons engaging
in the act of fornication, Some ladies commit the sin of abortion, some men
converts their neighbor's goods and wives. Even in our encounters with annoying
persons, we are forced to use certain ill-words(curse), we bear false
witnesses, we call on other mere gods, we gossip. Who really is perfect?
A sin is a sin, no matter the gravity of the offence, we are all
sinners of no comparison!
No man born of a woman is perfect. Some persons, even
in sin did their mothers conceive them. For all has in one way or the other
fallen short of the glory of God, hence we should never put it upon ourselves
the right to pass judgement upon anyone. Not even our law-makers should be left
out on this. Biblically speaking, I believe in second chances! Taking a
stroll down memory lane, God had the power needed to wipe out all humanity for
every sin it had committed, but instead he sent his only son to die for our
sake that we may all be redeemed. Indeed laws exist to balance peace in our
nations, but I stand against death penalties. Sentencing a murderer to death is
just like committing the same crime as he is being convicted for. Who really is perfect?
Live, Love, Forgive and Forget. There is
absolutely no need hating. It is a negative energy. It Kills!
In all my findings,
nobody is perfect after all!
