The closer we get to Christ the harder we will be to offend. If we are mature in the faith we will think twice before hurting someone in the first place.

Love comes with the Spirit. You shouldn't have to grow to love. So if you have the spirit of God in you, you shouldn't want to hurt people.
But I will say this. Something that bothers me is when people use the word "perfect" by itself. There is perfection according to the bible and there is natural perfection. I can be perfect according to the Word of God but be as disorganized as a 2 year old child and I will see God's face in peace.
You know what I mean.
Just a pet peeve of mine.
