Christ will be master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. If your life is unholy, then your heart is unchanged, and you are an unsaved person. The Savior will sanctify His people, renew them, give them a hatred of sin, and a love of holiness. The grace that does not make a man better than others is a worthless counterfeit. Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.
-- Spurgeon, C. H.

Sounds good in print, the problem is mankind wrestles with sin. The apostle Paul said that he is the chief sinner. He knows what is right but struggles with it. For sure, there will be a change for the better, but only God is perfect and to expect it of self or others is beyond what is the capability of man. That is why we have a Savior.

That is very true. Without Christ forgiving us of our sins, and making us clean before his father, there is no way that we can stand before a Holy God. Sin and Holiness cannot dwell in the same place.

Sounds like some televangelists' rant to me.

I thank God for his gift of salvation ( Jesus).

I dunno... got some agreeable things... and some not-so-agreeable things. Then again, most of it is probably just poor word choice.
