Sometimes we can get all caught up in trying to do everything ourselves. Making sure that every detail is done just right by our standards only to fall far short of the mark.
Remember when Adam and Eve fell into sin what was the 1^st act they did afterwards?
They took Fig leaves and tore them off the Fig tree so they could cover their nakedness.
I would like to mention they did not see their nakedness until after they sinned. This is because they were covered by Christ Robe of Righteousness . When they sinned they lost His Robe and now found themselves naked.
They then went into their quest to cover their nakedness with their own righteousness. Basicly they tried to do it on their own.
We are to learn from their example. If they would have fully repented and  turned away from their sin God would have redeemed them fully. But instead they choose to blame God. Eve blamed God for the serpent that He had created and Adam blamed God for the woman God had created.
All we have to do is invite Him into our hearts and allow Him to keep the law. We are not in this alone Both God and Satan is offering up their help. When we allow Christ to Lead we become His servant.
God must keep all the requirements for  us then and only then will we see victory over sin.
To do this we must draw from our Saviour everlasting water.
As we exercise our faith in Him by giving Him full access to our life we become partakers of His Divine Character.
Paul speaks of this:
Gal 2:16  Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.
Gal 2:17  But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!
Gal 2:18  For if I put up again those things which I gave to destruction, I am seen to be a wrongdoer.
Gal 2:19  For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God.
Gal 2:20  I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.
Gal 2:21  I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.
We are to also die on the cross to self and then allow Christ to dwell in us fully. Then we will become victorious thru Christ.
