Today is Thursday, October 21st, 2010; Karen's Korner #1929

Looking at a verse from Hebrews and a commentary on the same verse.
 
But in my margins I have written, "In an imperfect world, we must never forget just how much God loves us." - October 21, 2010. And, "We are perfect in God's sight." - February 2, 1999.
 
"For by that one sacrifice (Jesus dying on the cross),
He made forever perfect in the sight of God
all those whom he is making holy."
~ Hebrews 10:14

Bible Commentary:  "We have been made perfect (complete in Christ), but we are being made holy. Through his death and resurrection. Christ once for all made his believers perfect in God's sight. A the same time, he is making them holy in their daily pilgrimage here. We should not be surprised, ashamed, or shocked that we still need work. God is not finished with us. We can encourage the growth process by obeying Christ, by appropriating the values of the Bible in all area of our lives, and by accepting the forgiveness Christ provides."
