« God's Word is Our Perfect »

Psalm 119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but Thy commandment is exceeding broad.

Everything this world would consider to be perfect is going to have an end. Goliath - the biggest and strongest was overcome. Asahel - the fastest was overtaken. Ahithophel - the wisest was duped. The perfect car will eventually deteriorate. The perfect house requires upkeep. The world cannot produce absolute perfection.

While the world produces nothing that is really perfect, the Word of God has proven itself to be absolute perfection. Critics from varying fields of study have tried to find imperfection in God’s Word, but the closer they look and the more they study they discover that blemishes cannot be found. Whether they use scientific, historical, archaeological, anthropological, or etymological methods, the Word of God is always right. No matter how broad a person’s study may be and no matter how critical he may be of God’s Word, it proves itself to be perfect everytime.

When you consider the fact that nothing in this world is perfect, then you must admit that you are also not perfect. Also, when you consider that the Word of God is always perfect, then you must come to the point where you know that you will always fall short. 

It is when we realize this fact and seek forgiveness for our sins through repentance that we receive the perfection of the Word of God, Jesus Christ. This perfection is found inside the Gift of God and cannot be discovered by a work of man no matter how perfect it may be by our standard. Since our standard is the standard of a man and that standard is flawed, it would be impossible for that standard to produce everlasting perfection.
