The Bible states "Be therefore holy, because I the Lord your God am holy." The purpose of our salvation was not to perserve a people out of pity. It was to make holiness possible in their life.
Holiness separates the Christian from the world. It is a matter of consecration which is that setting aside our life and our body as a living sacrifice before the LORD. Yes it is true that we stumble, but when we do we are to get up. If you believe in your heart that you cannot be holy, you will not. Jesus said as much on the Sermon on the Mount when He pointed out the intentions of man are God's first concern. "Blessed are those..."He says who seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Daily Prayer: Lord, make it my first priority to be able to walk before you without same or regret. Build up my heart so that my external life exhibits purity of life of the inner man. In Your Name I pray Amen.
