Back to Patristics, with St Gregory the Great.
What do you fear? If your only fear is not losing
God’s friendship, then you have a ways to go to
perfection. That is deep, but perhaps also based
on a misunderstanding from this great early theologian.
Can we lose God’s friendship? Not if we walk in HIs
ways and seek His face. However, such a thing can
be achieved if we walk away from Him in meaningful
ways. I believe that that is the foundation of double
predestination. God knows who will choose Him,
but gives each one the freedom to choose, even
once we do make an initial choice to call Him Lord.
I don’t have the time to unpack this here, but I think
that perfection is knowing that God’s love is
all-encompassing for those who have accepted and
yielded to it.
