John_C, I understand the ideas of Sanctification and glorification and our never being "perfect" on this side, yet I am still looking for a "definition" if you will, that the Bible gives of the idea of perfection. The only thing I have found so far is that the Bible tells us 2 things.. 1: God is perfect and separated from sin. 2: We as humans are not perfect, and we are born into bondage with sin. I guess a more elementary way of asking my question would be this.. Is perfection merely defined as a 100% separation from sin?

Perfection is a nebulous term as it relates to our Christianity. Maybe a better comprehensive understanding or realization of sin helps in this. Was Christ more than just 100% separation from sin. I guess I'm referring more to the omission of sin. Our desire is to be more Christlikeness in our daily walk. That involves action, just not keeping from doing the bad (sin). Do we exhibit the fruits of the Spirit?

Sorry, that's the best that I can do in terms of description.
