I don't understand the your question.
Consider
1 John 3:2. What I will become when I am truly "like" Him won't have anything to do with my striving against sin. It will be a result of His appearance and something that happens then that I probably won't have a lot of power over.
In the meantime, yes, we are to seek to be more and more like Him. But to use the English word "perfect" here seems to be hubristic to me. We are not as perfect as God is. Plain and simple, unless you want to constantly state that you are actually using the word "perfect" in some specialized way and with your own special definitions. In which case it's probably better to just use a different word.
