Jesus Christ tells His followers to become perfect (Matthew 5:48). So how do we accomplish that seemingly impossible task? God does not expect us to figure out perfection on our own or to come to our own conclusions about it. God is very specific and has given us His perfect instructions.

Where do we find those perfect instructions? James tells us, “…he who looks into the perfect law of liberty…will be blessed in what he does” (James 1:25). God’s law is the perfect way for humans to live. We need to study the Bible to know exactly what His laws and instructions are. And why would we not want to follow those as carefully as we possibly could?
