LET US GO ON UNTO PERFECTON

Scripture:   Hebrews 6:1-3 “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.  And this will we do, if God permit.”

     We are told in this passage that we are to go on unto perfection.  What a pleasant thought, seeing that our Lord is perfect and the more we strive toward perfection, the closer we’re going to get to Him!  I’m afraid, because of the work and commitment involved in this statement, that many have just quit trying.  Do you know anyone like that today?  The real question we should be asking is, since we are saved, what do we do now?
    The Bible has much to say about the way we live.  In the light of the question, I believe that we are to keep moving forward.  You may not be perfect, but keep striving for perfection.  You will never be what the Lord would have you to be if you don’t try.
    The Bible also tells us that we should keep the faith.  Don’t get discouraged along the way.  Just keep on believing God and His Word and everything will be alright.  Don’t waver in your faith!
    We should also be strong in the Lord.  Basically, we have no strength, but He is all powerful.  Trust in Him to keep you strong. Don’t let the weakness of this old flesh get you down.
    All the time we are striving to go on unto perfection, let’s just keep on serving Him.  There’s no time to quit.  Don’t let up on what you are doing.
    Then we need to keep holding on.  Don’t ever turn loose of what you know to be the will of God.  Jacob said I’ll not let you go till you bless me. May that be our desire!  Don’t lose hope.  Hang on to what you’ve got.
    We also need to keep our eyes on Jesus.  If we lose sight of Him, then all our efforts will be in vain.  We need to keep looking up!   Soon and very soon our Lord is coming again.
