Philosophers often describe God as “perfect being”—a being that possesses all possible perfections, so that it is all-powerful, all-knowing, immutable, perfectly good, perfectly simple, and necessarily existent, among other qualities.
Psalms 18:30. 30 As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
He indeed is perfect, as being omnipotent; man, as being aided by the Omnipotent. For the word 'as' is used in Scripture, sometimes for identity, and equality, as in that, As I was with Moses, so will I be with thee; (Josh. 1:5.)
The Perfections of God is a study of God's characteristics including his love, goodness, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, eternality, wrath, sovereignty, and much more.
Hebrews 10:14 In-Context
14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
In Western (Christian) thought, God is traditionally described as a being that possesses at least three necessary properties: omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (all-powerful), and omnibenevolence (supremely good). In other words, God knows everything, has the power to do anything, and is perfectly good.
Ultimately we use this theme to point our first graders to the Gospel: that God had a perfect plan for saving his people from sin, sending his only begotten son, so that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life.
These include: the Lordship of Christ over all our life and thoughts; the responsibility to love God with our whole being and to love our neighbor as ourselves; the responsibility to pursue righteousness and practice justice and mercy to everyone; and participation in the worship and activities of the church, which ...
The Bible, especially in the New Testament, provides guidelines for directing our thought as we align ourselves with divine perfection, the all-power of God's infinite goodness. Through our prayer and study, we see more of spiritual reality and divine harmony.
Dystheism (from Greek δυσ- dys-, "bad" and θεός theos, "god") is the belief that a god is not wholly good and can even be considered evil.
The first, absolute perfection, is where God is loved as much as he can be loved; only God himself can be this perfect. The second level, where love for God fills a person constantly, is possible after death but not in life. The lowest level of perfection was thought to be possible to achieve while living.
During His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gave us the challenging command to be perfect (see Matthew 5:48). But since we are all bound to make mistakes, how does God expect us to keep this commandment?
As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
: being entirely without fault or defect : flawless.
According to the bible, Jesus died in our place. The perfect Son of God willingly took everyone's sins upon Himself in order to pay the penalty that we deserved. Jesus suffered and died on the cross to satisfy the wrath of God against sin.
It means that Jesus moved from untested obedience into suffering and then through suffering into tested and proven obedience. And this proving himself obedient through suffering was his 'being perfected'"(from the sermon, Our Captain Made Perfect Through Sufferings, June 2, 1996).
Apostle Paul's perspective on Christ as the "perfect man" considered him the "second Adam" who brought forth life, while Adam left a legacy of sin, e.g. in 1 Corinthians 15:22 (NIV) and Romans 5:12 (NIV) In Ephesians 4:13, the Christian community is called to the "unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, ...

Thou knowest the commandments: Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother. We expect Jesus to recite the entire Decalogue.
God has revealed himself to us in the glory of creation, in the perfection of the written word, and in the personal experience of all who seek him.
God has his own sense of timing: 'With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day' (2 Peter 3:8). He has perfect timing: never early, never late. God is never in a hurry, but he is always on time. We see in today's passages that the Lord is sovereign over the future (Daniel 4:32).
The purpose of God's plan is to provide us with eternal happiness. The more you understand His plan, the more you realize you can't make it back to God on your own. He made it possible for every sin and every mistake you make during this test of life to disappear and be forgotten through Jesus Christ.
