Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48. (LHU 96.1) MC VC

The command, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect,” would never have been given if every provision had not been made whereby we may become as perfect in our sphere as God is in His. We are to be ever advancing from light to a greater light, holding fast what we have already received, and praying for more. Thus we shall never be left in darkness (The Review and Herald, April 12, 1892). (LHU 123.5) MC VC
