Some people say, “As long as we pursue to be faithful to the Lord Jesus’ way and practice according to the Lord’s requirements, being humble and patient, loving our enemies, bearing the cross, subduing our body and working for the Lord, preaching the gospel and testifying to Him, we will be able to attain holiness.” Why is such a statement not right?
The answer from God’s word:
“The sins of man were forgiven through God incarnate, but it does not mean that man has no sin within him. The sins of man could be forgiven through the sin offering, but man has been unable to resolve the issue of just how he can no longer sin and how his sinful nature can be cast away completely and be transformed.
