Mature believers are not deceived into seeking sinless perfection but rather moral maturity. Sinless perfection is in our future, not at present. Moral maturity is for the present and demands that we discipline ourselves. Maturity in Christ involves us acting on what we know as the Holy Spirit guides us. We do not have to spend our lives looking for some new doctrine or searching for the truth that has already been revealed to us. We need to live up to the light we have and not just mark time. Perfection in growth is what is needed and is possible as we keep the one supreme Object before us. Spiritual “fathers” know “Him that is from the beginning.” Mature believers are willing to pay any cost in response to the desire of God for them because they “know Him,” love Him and appreciate Him. Truth has its demands and God reveals His truth to those who are willing to follow it. We are able to walk together with saints as far as possible trusting God to reveal what we need to learn and do. That orderly walk can be maintained when we obey the “same rule” and “mind (obey) the same thing.”
