God wants his children to be like him. This is manifested through his Son Jesus and some of his servants. Let's look at some biblical texts where this has been spoken or written.

But according as he which hath called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation: For it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. I Peter 1:15 and 16.

“For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from prostitution; that each of you know how to possess his own body in sanctification and honor,” I Thessalonians 4:3 and 4.

“Therefore be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:48.

Let no one deceive you; whoever practices righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous. I John 3:7.

So don't be fooled into thinking that we can't be holy, perfect or righteous. And we can be if we keep the perfect law, which makes its observer holy, just and perfect. After all, God's law is perfect. Psalm 19:7, first part.
