But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. James 1:4
If we are impatient then we still lack. I spose impatience wouldn’t be considered a sin, these days.
The religious system makes people think that without that system they will lack something or be incomplete. It breeds a dependency on the system. But James said that if you let patience have her perfect work you will lack nothing.
Similarly, Peter said: For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:8
So, you CAN be the man or woman God intended you to be, in Christ, even without joining the religious system, by being joined to the Body of Christ thru REAL fellowship and relationship (Ephesians 4:16).
You don’t have to subscribe to the religious system in order to be lacking in nothing.
