Isn't it interesting that throughout the Bible, God constantly commands people to be holy, righteous, pure, without adding the disclaimer that those who turn from all sin are actually "self righteous" or the are practicing "works salvation."?!?

Oh, for those who get nervous or agitated or defensive with statements like this, I will add a couple disclaimers...
We have the power of free will because of God's enabling grace.

We can only be holy, righteous and pure because of the constant cleansing of the blood of Christ.
