Sons Of A Perfect Father
Saturday, January 24, 2026Key Verse
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:48).
Text — Matthew 5:3-12, 48
Message
Children usually want to be always associated with their parents. They want people to know whom their parents are. The desire to be associated with parents by children reflects their efforts to maintain family ideals handed down to them. On the other hand, parents would naturally want their children to resemble them. The resemblance may be physical or in behaviour. So also, our heavenly father desires that we radiate His image anywhere and everywhere we find ourselves. God is a righteous God. Therefore, He wants His children to be righteous.
Our memory verse clearly presents the desire of God for all His children by instructing every boy and girl to “be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Perfection of the heart makes us to reflect the image of God and shine as light in this dark world. To be like Jesus commences from having a genuine experience of salvation. God demands perfection from us. He will not demand from us what He knows we cannot do.
