Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48) (1 min 11 sec)
Preview
1. Our true nature is already perfect, as we were created by God.
The call to "be perfect" is not about striving for an impossible standard, but rather accepting our inherent perfection as God's creations.
The phrase "as your heavenly Father is perfect" points to our fundamental oneness with God. We are not separate from God, but rather extensions of divine perfection.
Forgiveness is the key to recognizing our perfection with God. By releasing judgments we clear away the obstacles that prevent us from experiencing love.
The perceived need to become perfect stems from the ego's belief in lack. ACIM teaches that this perception is an illusion, and our task is to awaken to the reality of our perfection.
Embracing our perfection as children of God aligns with the teachings of Love. Miracle-mindedness occurs the moment we shift our perception from fear to love and recognizing the perfection in ourselves and others.
