We Are Now Perfect Like the Father is Perfect


Oh the sweet and perfect love of God


For God so loved the world

That He gave His only Son

To die for us


That we might become 

One with Christ

One with God

One with the Holy Spirit

One with our Triune God


When we become cognizant of our sins

And we confess our sins for what they are and


Repent and


Turn away from


Our sins and


Turn toward God



He is quick to forgive us our sins


For His compassion fails not

His mercies are new every morning


For His love has already paid the price for our sins



The sin-less Son

Died for us sin-filled man




Therefore there is now no condemnation 

For those who have accepted what was completed on the cross


The Divine Exchange

The Sinless for the sinful


The veil that separated the

Holy from the Holy of Holies in the temple

Was torn in two

Top down


God 

Top down

Came from heaven to earth


God

Top down

Made the perfect sacrifice


God 

Top down

Died for us on the cross


And completed His work of salvation for us



We are now united as one

With God the Father

With God the Savior

With God the Holy Spirit



God

The Holy God

Is now

One with us


For we have become

Holy

Clean

Sinless

Perfect


Just as He is


Like Father God

Like His Son


We have been made one with this

Perfect

Holy


God


We too become

Like Father

Like child


Perfect Father

Perfect child


We are perfect

As He is perfect



What is keeping us from running into

The Holy of Holies


Where there is 

Perfect forgiveness

Perfect acceptance

Perfect love


Where we are being made into 

Perfect reflection

of the Perfect Father God



Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen

When it is God Who justifies


Who then can possibly condemn us

When Christ Jesus Who died for our sins

Is now interceding on our behalf

At the right hand of God



No one


No one can bring any charge

No one can condemn us

Not a one


For the Only One

Who can save us

Has done so for us

On the cursed cross


And tore the veil


So we can


Enter in


Boldly


Confidently


Run 


Into the Throne Room of God


Blameless

Perfect



As the Father is 


Perfect

Run To the Throne of Grace


15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need (Hebrews 4:15-16).




Christ our Great High Priest


He was tempted in every way 

Just as we are


But He did not sin


He can therefore empathize with us


He gets it

He understands our temptations to sin

He feels it with us because

He felt the tug toward sin

To give into them


But because He was God

He did not sin



While Jesus 

The Son of God 

was on earth


He was also fully human

Fully God and perfect

Fully man and tempted


Tempted in every way

Just as we are


Yet because He was God

He did not sin


Jesus did not give into the temptations to sin


But because He was fully human

He can empathize with our temptations


To sin

To cuss

To rebel

To lash out

To be selfish

To be prideful

To be spiteful

To be impatient

To be unforgiving

To exact revenge 

To anger and rage


To write the script

To assign bad motives

To malign and slander

To wish ill on our enemies


To give into our sinful nature

To give into our human nature

To give into our base nature


To act out sexually

To be lustful

To be greedy

To be envious



Christ our Great High Priest

Who went into the Holy of Holies

And became our Perfect Sacrifice

To atone for our sins

The temptations we gave into


That He felt but did not indulge in


How precious His blood

His atoning blood

That washes away

All of our sins



Jesus saw us while He was on the cross

He saw us on the other side of the cross

He knew He was truly

The Only Way

To purchase our redemption



He gladly went on that cursed cross

Entered into the Holy of Holies as a high priest would

And sacrificed Himself once and for all

For our sins


The Perfect God

Died for us sinful humans


Perfect Atonement



Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen

No one

For Christ died for us

He is now seated at the right hand of God

Interceding for us



The Risen Christ

The Perfect Atonement


Is now


Seated on the 

Throne of Grace



The door to the Throne Room is wide open


God the Father

Jesus the Resurrected Atonement

The Ever-Present Holy Spirit


The Triune God


Is seated on this 

Throne of Grace



The blood of Christ is beckoning us


To come


Come boldly

Come confidently 

Into this Throne Room



To receive

Grace

Mercy


Full acceptance


Full assurance of love and forgiveness


Run up to this Throne of Grace

Climb into the lap of God

Allow Him to pull us up into His bosom

To embrace us

To cradle us in His arms

To shower His love

To coo over us

To whisper His love

As He sings over us with rejoicing



Go


Now


 Into the Throne Room of Grace


To receive 

Mercy

Grace 



NOW
