“Is Matthew 5:48 Reasonable Or Not”, ought to have asked if our understanding of this passage makes sense or throws the entire process of justification into disrepute? Are we saved by Grace so no man can boast or so no man need worry about what he does or does not do as nothing that we do plays a role in where we end up? Because if being saved by Grace means our very humanity is irrelevant and our Christianity, redundant, then something is either seriously wrong with the gospel account or our interpretation of what it says. Indeed, the phrase, ‘justification by faith’ is paradoxical. We cannot be justified if we have nothing to do or contribute to the process. In this essay the author has decided to go with the latter explanation. The conventional interpretation of Matthew 5:48 is bizarre and unbiblical in how it is presented.
