Do you have to be perfect to be considered holy to GOD?

Well I asked the LORD one time, since we reach people all over the world who come from different cultures, backgrounds, and religions, when they give their life to the LORD, but they have never read or studied the Bible how do they stack up to someone who has spent 30 years reading the Bible when it comes to being ready to face the LORD?

And GOD gave me the most amazing answer.

HE said: that the person who just turns their life over to HIM, as long as they pursue HIM daily from that day forward, surrendering their whole life to HIM, daily repenting, they are pursuing Holiness and are holy–but if the person who has been studying the Bible for 30 years turns away from GOD they will be lost no matter how long they have spent reading the Bible…

The person is perfected in CHRIST because they choose “perfectly” by choosing daily to be in the Will of GOD.
