In The Holy Spirit We Can Be Sinless (1peter 1: 14-16)

“As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1peter 1: 14-16).

 Some people would say that nobody will ever be perfect or attain sinlessness while still on this earth. 
That is not true cause Jesus commanded us to be holy as He is holy. 
So it is a command and not a choice for a believer in Christ. 
To be holy is the goal for which every Christian strive. 
St. Paul makes a very strong statement regarding this in his first epistle to the Thessalonians, chapter four, saying, "God has called us to be holy, not to live impure lives. 
Anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human rules but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you." (1 Thessalonians 4:7,8.) 
What we should know that we will never be able to be sinless and perfect by our works or by our strength but by our will to be united with the perfect sinless One, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Grace of God given to all mankind. 
When we choose by our free will to put off all the old ways of our lives, reject all the worldly tempting thoughts that may sadden and quench the presence of the Holy Spirit in us; pray asking for the strength in the Holy Spirit to be able to resist all the evil powers and to abide to Jesus and obey His words, we will be holy as He is.  
So we have a role in this procedure of our purification, which St. Peter continued to tell us in chapter two, saying, “Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul” (1peter 2:11). 
Our role is to accept and choose to live a new life and renew our minds and thoughts. May we all obey the word of God to be filled with the power of His Holy Spirit and be holy as He is.
Amen.
