Jesus told us to pray: Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. So you do not think it is possible to do with He is telling us to do? Of course the idea behind this prayer is to align one's will with God's will and to bring heaven to earth by living in accordance with God's will. This prayer is often seen as a way of surrendering one's own desires and submitting to the will of God. Whether or not it is possible to fully realize this prayer is a matter of interpretation and belief.I don't believe we'll be perfected in love in this life, but we're to be on that path now, children of God, who is love.
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, believed in the concept of Christian perfection or "entire sanctification." He taught that it is possible for believers to attain a state of holiness in this life and to live in a way that is pleasing to God. Wesley's teachings emphasized the importance of personal piety, social justice, and spreading the gospel. His ideas inspired the Holiness movement, which sought to promote a deeper spiritual experience and greater devotion to God.
