At first glance Calvin's statement seems absurd but as a Christian we are perfect as far as our standing is concerned! When God looks at us, all he can see is Jesus.
Hebrews 10:14 - because by one sacrifice he(Jesus)has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
Notice that we are perfect but are being made holy. Being made holy indicates that as far as our state on this earth is concerned it is a process. The thing is, it is God that is making us holy, we just have to let him!
Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Remember it is God that began this good work and it is God that will complete it!
So as far as new years resolutions are concerned we all have something that we need to work on, but we need to let God do the work!
How great is our God!

i love your thoughts on letting god do the work, its hard to trust him to do it especially when we dont see the results instantly or always in the way i want.
