“'You will not certainly die,' the serpent said to the woman. 'For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'” ~ Genesis 3:4-5
Perfectionism is a trick of the enemy to get us to fall out of alignment with God.
When we strive for perfection, what we're really striving for is to be God himself. That's the same mistake Eve made in the Garden.
The serpent dared her to eat the fruit in defiance of God (Genesis 3:1). He told her "God knows you will be like Him if you eat the fruit."
That single mistake caused a whole slew of ills for generations to come.
It should serve as a warning to us!
The minute we try to be God, we are out of alignment with Him. The Bible calls this sin. Perfectionism is sin.
More to come!
God bless,
J.W.
