One of God's simplest commandments is also among the most confounding: Be ye holy. Some people see that they cannot achieve holiness and just give up. Others try to become holy through sheer effort.

Many faithful believers feel like failures. Many struggle with wondering if their sins are worse than other Christian’s.
