Most of us (if not all) use the excuse "tao lang, nagkakasala" (i'm only human, i sin) but do you know that it's possible for us, humans not to sin?
I know many will find it hard to believe, but if you read 1Peter 1:16, it says there that the Lord commands us to be holy for He is holy. 

So how are we going to do it, you ask? The Lord gave us instructions that we can read in 1Peter 1:13-15. To prepare our minds for action and be self controlled; 
to set our hopes fully on the grace of God. Be obedient and do not conform to the evil desires we've had when we lived in ignorance.
And YES, be holy in ALL that we do just as how Christ who has called us is holy.

"HoIiness" is such a big word, i know. How are we suppose to live holy like how Christ is, in this crazy, evil world?
Sounds so difficult indeed! Ofcourse we couldn't do it all by ourselves. It's impossible for us to go walk around the earth being "holy" like that, without a help from God.
In Genesis 17:1 He commanded the same to Abram (which God changed to Abraham in verse 5), and there He referred to Himself as "El Shaddai" 

The word "El Shaddai" means God being the All-Sufficient One. And "sufficient" meaning, enough to meet the needs of a situation.
Like how a baby sucks at the breast of its mom to get all the nutrition, the strength, and everything the baby needs to grow;
God too wants us to rely in Him, to yield in Him in every situation because He is the All-Sufficient One, He is El Shaddai!
He is the enough source of strength for us to overcome whatever circumstances that we are in.
All we need to do is to yield in Him, so we can live a life that is holy and acceptable to the Lord. <3

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God 

that brings salvation to everyone who believes:

first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

He died in public for you! Why would you live your christian life in private?

A genuine transformation almost always follow a public testimony,

Whether to one or two, perhaps a group of people.

It's like discovering a cure for a dreaded disease, you just don't keep it to yourself.

Make your faith public! Do not be ashamed of the gospel!

Go and tell the world about the love that saved you.

Imagine yourself standing at the gate of heaven when you die and God asks you,
"Why would I let you in?" 
what could be your answer? would you remind Him of all
the good things you've done here on earth like how kind you were with your neighbors?
or how patient you have been with that annoying girl seated beside you in class?

How you never cheated? Or lied?  Or cursed anyone ever? 

Or maybe how you never missed going to church every week?

Nope. We cannot brag about these things to God because in Isaiah 64:6,

Our good deeds, our righteous acts were just compared to filthy rags. 

We all wither and fall like leaves, and like a wind, our sins take us away.
We cannot enter the Kingdom of heaven by just being a "good" person,
for we are all sinners. Sinners don't deserve to be in heaven.
But because of Christ's death, by His blood, we are saved.

It is only by His grace that we have been saved through our faith. 

It is a gift of God and not from ourselves. Not because of anything we've done right

So that no one can boast. This verse can be found in Ephesians 2:8-9.

So, why would God let you in? :)
