The journey to holiness is not difficult. It is a response to God's grace. Paul tells us in his First Letter to the Thessalonians: "This is the will of God, your holiness."(4:4) There are steps we can take to grow in holiness.  Though we have been baptized and saved by the death of Jesus, though we have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit, sharing in God's divine life, we need to consciously choose to embrace the call and began to walk in the ways of holiness. The scriptures identify the steps. First of all, there is a need through personal encounter with Jesus for on-going conversion. This means uprooting sin in our lives. Read and reflect on Ephesians 4:22-32. Sin is the obstacle to holiness.
