This shirt doesn’t only make a statement, but it’s also meaningful. I replaced the “t” with a cross in “Christian,” to represent the old rugged cross that Jesus died on for our sins, and to represent that as "Christians,” we are Christ’s; meaning we belong to Him. And because we are His, just as He was crucified on the cross for us, we ought to also crucify our flesh with its passions and desires as we are being made into His Holy image day by day through the Holy Spirit(Galatians 5:24-25).
As well as with the “t” in “Perfect,” to represent that Jesus was perfect for us. So, we don’t have to try to be or act like we are perfect; in fact, we cannot be and are not perfect ON OUR OWN. As human beings it is impossible to be perfect, but WITH GOD all things are possible. So, I thank God that THROUGH HIS SON JESUS, we are justified freely forever. Meaning we are able to be MADE PERFECT through Jesus. Christian’s may not be perfect in the eyes of human beings, but we are human beings who are PERFECTED and able to be seen as perfect in the eyes of God THROUGH what Jesus does for us(Hebrews 10:14). As long as we are here in the flesh, we are perfected by believing and following Him who was, is, and always will be perfect(Hebrews 10:14). So the Salvation of our soul is already ours as Christians(believers and followers of Christ Jesus), but Sanctification is a process….
Christians are not perfect humans, but we are saved from the consequences of our imperfections, and are perfected through God’s Grace and Love found in Jesus. Christians are not perfect, instead we are perfected through Jesus.
