For men with right intentions, why will they want to marry🤔

Do you know singing, anointing, power, good preaching, prayers, good church, good pastor, positive confession, impact, evangelism, crying during worship, dancing like David danced, giving, having a good heart e.t.c, are good but cannot take you to heaven if you do not have holiness attached to it?

God may overlook certain things to bless you on earth, but He will never overlook holiness when it comes to you entering heaven.

Again, God makes holiness achievable if you hunger and thirst after righteousness. But many people are not so positively desperate for righteousness. Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled"

Hebrew 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord"

you know this desperate approach is fueling spiritual exploitation in churches today which is not good for Christianity?

A situation where pastors keep telling church members to seek holiness desperately by coming to church always and serve God is shifting their attention and curiosity to what is not necessary.
Hence the pastor will definitely take advantage like a survivor of the fittest and exploit the church members for his personal benefits. Because by psychology, the people does not have sense
So the pastor who does not have any hand work will continue to be richer while the vast majority of the church members who go to work their money and bring offering to church remains poor

To have a clear interpretation of this scripture without any evil intention, Jesus is saying that blessed are those who believe in him for they shall be made holy.

Holiness is simply believing in Christ, that is when your eternal life is sure

You may have seen many christians so desperate and eager to get visa to go Europe or the US e.t.c,
but you may not have seen a single christian so desperate and eager to be holy.

If God sees a genuine Christian who is so desperate, hungry and thirsty for holiness, He will give such person grace to be Holy.
God does not waste His grace for holiness to those who do not need it, who are not desperate for it or who want it casually.
He gives it to very serious Christians who have desperately demanded for it.

Many or most christians are not holy because they do not need it, are not desperate for it or want it casually. Some signs of desperation
is persistent and long hours of importunate prayer, avoidance of filthy things, regular fastings, consistent reading of God's word, all with just a single target of: "God make me holy".

Finally, when God gives a Christian grace to be holy, such Christian can stay for months, years e.t.c without committing a single sin.

Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled".
