Christian perfectionism
Christian Perfectionism is a theological belief primarily associated with Methodism, particularly influenced by John Wesley. It teaches that believers can reach a state of spiritual maturity or "perfection" in love, where they are fully devoted to God and free from willful sin. This doesn't imply being without flaws, but rather achieving a heart and mind aligned with God's will, characterized by love for others. Proponents emphasize the transformative power of God's grace in a believer's life, enabling a moral and spiritual completeness that reflects Christ’s example. It's about striving for holiness and deepening one’s relationship with God.
