I am not saying that the only way to heaven is threw the blood, becasuse it is. Just that he wants us to have his grace, and go live our own way in our own rightousess. Show me that he wants his son on the cross, and that we have to sin, that there is no way a man can become perfect.

Romans 3
10. there is none righteous, NO, NOT ONE

11. there is none that understandth , there is NONE that seeketh after God.

Ours, not His!
Our righteousness is based on grace, yes. However this does not mean we are to continue in sin. Read Rom 6:1-5. As we are born again we should feed the new life in us so our new man lives and the old man is put to death.
God had a Son on the cross once. He doesn't want Him there again. No, we do not have to sin, however we know that "if we walk in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin.
Can we be sinless? It should be our aim - not to be "holier than thou" but to become like Jesus. Remember that the book tells us that as we "behold Jesus" we become more and more like Him changed from glory to glory .
Just one more point. The bible teaches that "I am the righteousness of Christ". So I am righteous, not because of my efforts but because of His!

We can and will be brought to perfection but that is the work of God through the Holy Spirit. It is not something we can hope to accomplish on our own. We must simply continue to believe and trust that by faith through grace, He will be faithful to bring us to that place.
Hebrews 8:10
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Philippians 1:6
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Our righteousness is only found on the cross of Jesus Christ, since we all have sinned we are not righteousness, but only God, who through Christ died for our sins so we could be reconciled to Him. God bless.
