“If thou be Christian, thou shalt behave as one.”

To be a true Christian is to live and act in a way that reflects Christ’s love and teachings. Yet we all know that perfection often escapes us. We stumble, we fail, and we fall short of His example.
But in God’s divine plan, perfection is not found in a flawless life — it is found in the unity of mistakes and forgiveness.

Without forgiveness, there can be no perfection. God’s perfection becomes complete when hearts are healed, when wrongs are forgiven, and when love restores what was broken.
True perfection is also the acceptance of life’s events — both joyful and painful — and the wisdom to learn from them on our journey toward salvation.

Each of us is given a unique and predestined path. Along that path, we are offered countless chances to right our wrongs and grow in faith. Yet the ultimate goal for every soul remains the same:
the salvation of our spirit.
Nothing else matters more than the eternal union with our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, as we are all called to live out our faith, let us keep Christ at the very center of our hearts, minds, and souls — just as the Scriptures remind us to do.
If we call ourselves Christians, then we must live as such — in love, humility, forgiveness, and devotion to God.

“Faith is not about perfection, but about our willingness to walk toward it — one prayer, one act of love, one forgiveness at a time.”
