My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:2-4)
There is no place I know of in the Bible where it says we should be sure of our perfection. We don't need to feel perfect, and we will always need to trust Jesus for our salvation. But there are many clear Bible commands to be perfect, and we should at least aspire to this ideal.
I am so happy about doing James in Sabbath School, and the fact that whoever wrote the study guide does not twist the scriptures to be politically correct.
