... Most of the Time.

OK. pretend you are on an airplane getting ready to take off.  The pilot speaks over the intercom, “We are getting ready to take off, and I just wanted to inform you that my goal is to fly this airplane so that we will never crash … most of the time.”  Would you stay on that airplane, or get off with ALL of the other passengers?  But why is it that we are satisfied with living a clean life … most of the time?  We only sin just a little - not too much.  Peter said it best in I Peter 1:16, “… Be ye holy; for I am holy.”  We should be as holy as the Lord is holy.  But the problem is, we can’t.  It is only through the power of Jesus Christ that we can even begin to live the Christian life.  “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”  James 4:8  So, we are hopeless.  But our only hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone.
