Matthew 5:48

Okay, so let me get this straight. The major crux of the Gospel is that we are so messed up that the only way that God could enter into relationship with us is to send his son Jesus as a perfect sacrifice for our sin. Sin requires blood, Jesus shed his blood for us.

Okay, I get that. So what happens after that? We are then told to spend the rest of our lives trying to be perfect (like Jesus), something that we could never do in the first place.


Huh?

I would appreciate your comments.
