I know you can't... can't what? Can't repent and live a holy life? I know that you cannot be any holier than the blood, but you have to take up your cross. That is a voluntary action. You take it... We have volition. We have a choice whether to sin or not to sin.
Brother, I think here our difference is you see Christ as Lord "over" our life. Which in my mind is a sort of Picture of Christ in the heavens ruling with a rod of iron and demanding we act and behave in a certian way.
