Strive for holiness
Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man will see God

In order to be holy, we need to make a deliberate effort by the grace of God to be distinct from the rest of the world.

The world should see us ( christians) reflecting the lifestyle of Christ. We must pray for grace and strength to stay away from what the bible says is unrighteous like adultery, fornication, lying, cheating and any other thing that defiles our bodies and is not pleasing to God.

It is true that we no longer live under the law but under grace. Romans 6:1-2 says
…..shall we continue to sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.

This I believe means if you fall into sin accidentally you can ask for forgiveness and move on. But if you plan and pre- meditate to sin that is something else.

Like human law says if you kill accidentally for instance in self defense. You are accused of man slaughter and your punishment is lighter

However, if you plan and arrange to kill someone intentionally. You are accused of murder and your punishment is heavier.

Dear student, worker and ambassador of Christ, the world may call you names and mock you for striving to be holy but do not give up. As Galatians 6:9 says you will be rewarded if you continue to be good.
God be with you

Suggestions for success
1. Reflect over your lifestyle. Identify areas you need to change or improve.
2. Pray for grace and strength to be holy.

Prayer
Let this song be your prayer and confession

Create in me a clean heart, O Lord
And renew a right spirit within me
Cast me not away from thy presence O Lord
And take not thy Holy Spirit from me
Restore unto me
The joy of thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me
Amen
