INTRODUCTION:
We serve a God who is absolutely perfect in all His ways, works, and wisdom. Unlike man, God does not err, falter, or fail. His perfection is not just moral but also functional. Everything He does is complete, whole, and flawless. From creation to redemption, His acts reveal His excellence.

In a world full of imperfections, the perfection of God is both our anchor and our assurance. It means we can trust Him to fulfil His promises, to govern the affairs of our lives without mistake, and to bring us into a state of completion and maturity.

God’s perfection is not distant from us—it is something He invites us into. Through His grace, we are called to walk before Him and grow into spiritual maturity, reflecting His character in our daily lives.
