Possible Perfection

Reading:  Deuteronomy 18

How is this even a possibility?

DEUTERONOMY 18:13
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 
There are a number of avenues that could be pursued here but I am going to focus on two;  the first is the use of the preposition "with" where it becomes an act of accompaniment.  We shall be perfect, not of ourselves, but with the Lord's help.  Perfection is unreachable as a natural man but "with" faith and "with" work, the unreachable is bent toward us and can be attained with our Heavenly Father's assistance.

The second angle resides wholly in the aid which God has given us, the one and only path to perfection, our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Is it possible to be perfect, yes, we can be perfect with The Lord through faith, repentance, and the Redeeming love of our Brother.

~Kipling

The original title for this blog was, "Impossible Perfection" but after viewing the preview I realized the importance of changing it to its current, and final, form.
