"The life in Christ originates and begins in this life, but is perfected in the life to come, when that [last] day comes. It cannot attain perfection in men's soul in this life, nor can it in the life to come unless it begins from here... It is this world which carries within it the new inner man which was created according to God [Eph. 4:24]. When he has been shaped and formed here, then he is born perfect into that perfect world which grows not old..."
(St. Nicholas Cabasilas)
What's there that prevents us from achieving perfect here? And how do we get to know whether our perfection started or not?
