Psalms 37:37
Psalms 37:37
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
The perfect man is one who lives with integrity, whose life reflects the righteousness of God. This verse calls us to look to those who live uprightly, for their end is peace. Perfection in this context is not about being flawless, but about living with integrity, honor, and righteousness, trusting that God will bring peace to those who walk in His ways. The perfection of such a person is seen in their character—one who consistently reflects God’s truth and justice. Worship, in this sense, becomes an act of admiration and aspiration, where we seek to live uprightly and with integrity, knowing that the end result is peace, both in this life and the life to come. As we walk in righteousness, we are assured that God will reward our faithfulness with His perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding.
Romans 8:38
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,.

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
2 Timothy 3:17
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Colossians 1:28
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
