People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect. To carry out fully this great law of
love would lift man to the Divine standard of perfection. This must be
the aim of life. We have before us as a pattern for the perfect God; we
have the Divine perfection embodied in Christ. It will require a
constant struggle while in the flesh to come near so high an ideal, but
it must be our continual aim. This does not teach such sanctification
that we cannot sin, nor that we, here on earth, attain absolute
perfection, but we have placed before us, as a model, the perfect
ideal, and we will constantly ascend higher by striving to attain it.
