Sanctification through Obedience
Leviticus 20:7-8
[7] Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God.
[8] And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord which sanctify you.
Yes, it is generally believed and taught by many school of thought that we are can't be clean, holy and righteous. This is because those school of thought tried to attain cleanliness, holiness and righteousness through their power, strength and consciousness.
God wants us to be holy as He is holy, 1 Peter 1:15. This means holiness is attainable. Holiness comes through sanctification and sanctification through obedience.
When we obey God, do His dos and abstain from His don'ts, then He will sanctify us and declare us Clean, Holy and Righteous, verse 8. Remember, Abraham was called righteous because he obeyed God, Galatians 3:6.
Beloved, yes you can be holy, clean and righteous. You just need to obey God not forceful but willful obedience.
May God spirit indwell us.
Shalom!
