Christian Perfection-what's your understanding?

[joyfulthanks]

You're quite welcome. This is a subject I am interested in at present, as well.

One thing in particular that interests me is the correspondence with OT typology from the Exodus - especially the crossing of the Jordan and conquest of Canaan.

Many have seen the crossing of the Jordan to represent death and entrance into heaven, but I don't think that works, since they still had enemies to defeat by faith once they reached the promised land.

Still chewing on all of this...

Sorry. On the surface, my previous post probably didn't make much sense as it relates to the idea of Christian perfection. It was a part of a larger train of thought about this subject that probably was rather confusing when posted out of its context.

Throughout the Bible, crossing the Jordan is symbolic of making the decision to obey God.

When you got saved, that was a Jordan moment.

When you practice obedience to God dispite your desire not to, that's a Jordan moment.

When you make a decision to trust God with or about something, that's a Jordan moment.

Never heard of a "jordan moment"-reminds me of a kodak moment
