Matt. 5:47      Matt. 6:1

Matthew 5:48

You shall therefore be perfect (wholehearted, made perfect, mature), just as your heavenly Father is perfect." [Lev. 19:2; Deuteronomy 18:13]
[This last sentence summarizes all six previous points. God is perfect, and he demands perfection. Jesus does not raise the bar to weed out those who are not good enough. He does so to make us realize that we cannot do it without his grace. The author C. S. Lewis sums this up nicely in his book "Is There a God?" where he writes: "No man knows how bad he is until he has made a very serious attempt to be good."]
