How do we know that God's grace supports our attempts to be holy?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace empowers believers to pursue holiness, as it is rooted in the promises He has given us through Christ.

The assurance that God's grace supports our pursuit of holiness is found in the promises outlined in Scripture, which affirm that Christ's work on the cross has secured our righteousness. This means that our endeavor to perfect holiness is not about attaining righteousness through ourselves but about living out the reality of what Christ has accomplished for us. The concept of cleansing ourselves from filthiness, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 7:1, does not imply that we achieve holiness by our merit; rather, it is a reflection of our response to God's unmerited favor. We are called to be separate from false teachings while focusing our lives on the grace that transforms us and enables us to be holy as He is holy.
