Mat 5:48 Since you are children of a perfect Father in heaven, you are to be perfect like him.” TPT Version
Joh 1:12 But those who embraced him and took hold of his name were given authority to become the children of God!
[Part 1 of 2]
They [the believers] are the Father’s children, having the Father’s divine life and divine nature. Hence, they can be perfect as the Father. The demand of the new law of the kingdom is much higher than the requirement of the law of the old dispensation. This higher demand can be met only by the Father’s divine life, not by their natural life. The kingdom of the heavens is the highest demand, and the divine life of the Father is the highest supply to meet that demand. The demand of the new law of the kingdom in Matthew 5 through 7 is actually the regenerated kingdom people’s expression from within their new life-the divine life. This demand, by opening up the inner being of the regenerated people, is to show them
that they are able to attain to such a high degree.
All the requirements of these changed laws reveal how much the divine life within us can do for us. These laws are not merely a requirement; they are a revelation, showing us that the divine life can even make us perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. We have this perfecting life within us. We have a life with such a divine nature that it can make us as perfect as our heavenly Father.
