48002.1 I Am Morally Perfect

You chose “AGREE”, indicating that you have never violated God’s moral codes. That means you are morally perfect by God’s standards.

God is the Creator of all things visible and invisible. He is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent (free from our time and space). He is holy, righteous, and just. That means God is morally pure and perfect.

God created physical laws that govern our universe so that our physical world would function the way it was designed. He also gave us rules for life to live by so that humanity might flourish and enjoy all that God provided for us.

So, what are His rules for life? Let’s start with the Ten Commandments.

  1. You shall not have any other gods than God.
  2. You shall not make any idols to worship them.
  3. You shall not take the name of God in vain.
  4. Remember the Sabbath and set it apart as holy to God.
  5. Honor your father and mother.
  6. You shall not murder.
  7. You shall not commit adultery.
  8. You shall not steal.
  9. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
  10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

Jesus raises the bar of God’s moral standards even higher.

“You have heard that it was said to an older generation, ‘Do not murder,’ and ‘whoever murders will be subjected to judgment.’ But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother will be subjected to judgment. And whoever insults a brother will be brought before the council, and whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell.” (Matthew 5:21–22)

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:27–28)

Jesus makes the point that no one is morally perfect by God’s standards.
