The road of holiness has been paved the blood of the Son of God , who knew no sin, but became sin that we may become the righteousness of God in him. The blood was spilled for the purose of purifying us, by purging our sin, and creating within us a Holy habitation, in which God set up residence.
The purpose of the Cross is to make each one that believes a Holy tabernacle, where the presence of God resides.
If we remove all sin from our lives he will dwell with us, and his presence will be a fortress, and shield to us. Jesus is a tower of refuge, for all who turn to him in repentance. All who turn from the evil of their own ways, shall know his presence, and his presence sets the enemy to flight.
Many of God's people today want freedom from the onslaught of the Devil, but yet they let the Devil have a legal foot hold in their lives, by knowingly and willingly allowing sin in their lives. God is Holy and he will not abide with evil of any sort, just like light will not abide with darkness.

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of...
