The cross of Christ does not just forgive sins; it also gives us the power to live in a holy way. Because of grace I can break that habit. I am free. Holiness does not come from the law. It does not come from more rules. Holiness comes from the cross of Christ, the fruit of the Spirit. Jesus did this for us in principle at the cross, and as we walk in the Spirit, we increasingly realize that potential within us, all by grace.
Josh Moody (No Other Gospel, pg 26)
