You are a created being. You were created by a Holy God but Not one human is able to remain holy.
After thousands of years of animal sacrifices, the people of Israel failed to follow all of the Commandments of God. The blood of bulls and goats were not enough to cleanse the people of their sins. They continued to live the same way they had always lived before, like the perverted devil that says, Surely you will not die, do whatever you want to. Since the people were not able to obey all the rules and regulations with their own power, God decided to send His Son with the hope that the people would listen to Him and learn what was required to go to Heaven. They did not. Well, not all of them but, the religious leaders of that time were insulted that this new guy, the son of a carpenter was claiming that He was sent from God. They had Him whipped and beaten and then they nailed Him to a tree. They speared Him in the side to make sure He was dead. Jesus became the Final blood sacrifice putting an end once and for all to the animal sacrifices and the physical ceremonial Laws. No one can keep them, if you break one, you break them all. They tried and failed. This was God's plan all along. To prove to us that He is so beyond our idea of what Holy is and we cannot maintain a life of holiness on our own. God sent His only begotten Son to pay the ultimate sacrifice to save us from eternal punishment and make a way for us to have eternal life with our Holy God and Father and His Son Jesus whom God made both Lord and Christ. We cannot be holy enough, but we can be cleansed from all unrighteousness, allowing the Holy Spirit from God to be with us and in us, if we believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and we will be saved. For with the heart you believe and are justified or made righteous, cleansed. And, with the Mouth Confession is made unto Salvation. Then, we need to ask for the Holy Spirit to fill us so we can produce good fruit like Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. In the name of Jesus our Lord and Christ. Amen. We are not holy. He who is in me is holy and everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness. Now, we can boldly approach the Throne of Grace and ask our God and Father to take all of our evil thoughts out of our minds and heal our bodies and deliver us from temptation and protect us from evil. God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven, in the name of The Lord Jesus our Christ/Messiah. Amen.
