If I have sin in my life when Jesus comes I will not enter Heavens gates but will be cast into Gehenna.
Only those who are entirely sanctified will be ready to meet Christ.
23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
1 Thess 5:23-24
Christ obviously expects this. He believes this is possible. He sees it as the norm for his servants.
7But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? 8And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? 9Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. Luke 17:7-10
When we do all we are commanded to do we are nothing special. We are not "super spiritual" as the false teachers try to imply.
No. We are merely doing that which is our duty to do. It is expected of all and not just a few.
