This Presentation is meant to warn people who desire to remain imperfect in their Christianity and encourage those who desire to be perfected in Christ Jesus.

1. Imperfection
Hebrews 6:1-6

2. 6:1 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,
6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of
resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.
6:4 For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world
to come,
6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing
they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open
shame.
HEBREWS 6:1-6

3. Imperfection is
mainly the result of
perverting GRACE in
ACTIONS or
WORDS
Paul, John, James, Peter and other apostles all warned about this perversion of Grace!

4. James 2:12
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be
judged by the law of liberty.

5. A Few Examples

6. Paul
Titus 1:15-16
To the pure all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving
nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.
They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being
abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work

7. ………consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation-
as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom
given to him, has written to you,
as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in
which are some things hard to understand, which untaught
and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they
do also the rest of the Scriptures.
You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand,
beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being
led away with the error of the wicked;
2 Peter 3:15-17
Peter

8. You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with
the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a
friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit
he caused to live in us envies intensely?
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God
opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you.
James 4:4-7
James

9. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices
righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
1 John 3:7
John

10. DIGGING INTO IMPERFECTION CONCEQUENCES

11. For certain men have crept in stealthily [gaining
entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was
predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane)
persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing
and favor) of our God into lawlessness and
wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny
our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah,
the Anointed One).
Jude 1:4 Amplified Version
KJV= lasciviousness= Greek word “Aselgeia”= the above description

12. How do they deny the Lord?
John 5:39-47

13. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor
covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but
ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of
the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

14. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the
will of the Gentiles-when we walked in lewdness, lusts,
drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable
idolatries.
1 Pet 4:3 -4
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them]
to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:

15. The Apostles’ Wishes and Prayers

16. 1 Corinthians 15: 33-34
Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good
habits."
Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not
have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

17. My little children, these things write I unto you, that
ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate
with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1 John 2:1

18. Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now
[it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our
salvation nearer than when we believed.
Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

19. For we can do nothing against the truth, but
for the truth.
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are
strong: and this also we wish, [even] your
perfection.
2 Corinthians 13:8-9
We Wish= Greek “Euchomai”= to pray to God as in KJV, AMP, NIV etc

20. Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for
perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one
mind, live in peace. And the God of love
and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11 NIV
