Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.MATTHEW 5:48 NASB
This whole chapter is just hard. No one can be perfect! It's an impossible command if we try to do it on our own.
And maybe that is the whole point, that we can't do it on our own resources.
Could it be that the whole point is that the Holy Spirit is to be what is perfect within us? That rather than being perfect in and of ourselves, we submit to Him and let Him be what is perfect in us?
