Ukamilifu wa Kikristo ni jina la mafundisho mbalimbali katika Ukristo yanayofafanua mchakato wa kulenga ukomavu wa kiroho. Lengo ni kuungana na Mungu kwa upendo kamili ambao ndio utakatifu.[1][2]
Mizizi ya mafundisho hayo ni maandishi ya Mababu wa Kanisa, hasa Irenei,[3] Klementi wa Aleksandria, Origen, halafu Makari wa Misri na Gregori wa Nisa.[4]
Hata hivyo baadhi ya madhehebu ya Kiprotestanti, kama Walutheri na Wakalvini, wanaona mafundisho ya namna hiyo hayapatani na yale juu ya wokovu kwa njia ya imani tu. (Rom 7:14–25; Fil 3:12)[5][6].
John Wesley taught about 'Christian perfection.' He believed that a mature Christian can reach a state where the love of God reigns supreme in our heart.

The doctrine of entire sanctification has been present from the very beginnings of the Christian faith. Since the focus of the first few centuries was on the battle against Christological heresies, a systematic doctrine of sanctification did not emerge during that period. Its roots, however, were clearly present in such Early Church Fathers as Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen. By the fourth century the highly regarded writings of Gregory of Nyssa and Macarius the Egyptian... advocated understandings of entire sanctification that sound very Wesleyan.
