Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48).

Are you striving to live blamelessly before God?

God makes an unconditional covenant with Abraham, which is shown by only God’s presence passing through the animal parts (Genesis 15:17). Yet the Lord has a standard He desires Abraham to uphold. The father of faith is ninety-nine years old, and God speaks to him: “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless” (Genesis 17:1). The adjective “blameless” is used for complete or healthy animals to be sacrificed to the Lord (Exodus 29:1; Leviticus 4:3). In both Exodus and Leviticus, the term is translated “without blemish.” We are to similarly live “blamelessly” and “without blemish.” Paul writes, “just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame [“without blemish”] before Him in love” (Ephesians 1:4).

Employment Point: Live with integrity to match your heavenly calling.
