100%

April 1

God expects 100% faith from people who profess to believe in Him. Ultimately, we each will arrive at that pinnacle of belief as we mature in faith. The Word says in fact that our accepting of Christ as our Savior and Lord sets us on a path that will lead us to be like Him, “for we shall see Him as He is” I John 3:2.

That process begins in time but ends in eternity, for the passage tells us that our perfection in Christ will be accomplished, “…when He shall appear…” Those who love Him await that glorious day with great expectation! Finally, all hatred, all sorrow,
all pain, all death will be gone and joy and truth—Christ--shall reign!

Though we cannot attain unto that state of perfection while inhabiting our tabernacle of flesh, we can begin to aspire to the level of faith and commitment that will be perfected when He returns. Proverbs 3:5 gives us an insight into how we might begin the process that will be accomplished in heaven.

Here it states, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” That path leads to perfect wisdom, perfect joy, perfect love—and to the 100% faith that He knows we’ll achieve when we see Jesus in glory.
