Standard

Ephesians 4:1313 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. 

Conscience seems limited by knowledge ... in guidance by what it possesses.

It condemns disobedience as it goes on ...  against known truth as one transgresses.

 

Therefore there is a vast distance ... in comprehension as a simple concept.

Conscience’s measure on one hand ... the Perfection and Holiness in depth.

 

Imperfection as such is made bearable ... for God does not judge from above

Lack of knowledge and misunderstanding ... of the Fullness and Might of His Love.

 

Limited knowledge fails to judge ... that what ought to be.

So many a time it feels just fine ... to judge what not should be.

 

Many things are done with knowledge ... but are condemned as sin.

By those whose conscience lack knowledge ...  that in time grows within.

 

Parents can do in liberty the things … that if done by children are wrong.

There are not two different standards ... for Christians and their sons.
