Good works sanctify???? You don't get that from Holy Scripture. Hebrews 10:10,14

Talk about cherry-picking! Does your random verse generator have verses such as "be holy because I am holy"? or "be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect"?

No, not cherry-picking just quoting scripture that talked about sanctification. And just how do you think anyone can be as holy and perfect as God? (Hint: With man this is impossible...)

And of course men can do that right?

We can no more be as Holy as God as we can keep the 10 commandments.. The purpose of the law, the purpose of the call to be Holy as God is Holy is to show us our need for a Savior..

Gal 3:24 — Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Rom 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin [was] dead.
Rom 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
