"Let your garments always be white and let your head lack no oil."
Ecclesiastes 9.8
It is difficult to live in a world that is so entangled in sin and yet maintain your garments white. However, it is not impossible. The secret behind maintaining yourself pure in an impure world is fearing the Lord and obeying His voice. The more sinful you are, the more effective God's power is.
The Almighty never asks for something that is impossible to do.

RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY
"For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." Romans 14:17Those who love this world do not believe in the existence of God or in His Kingdom. For that reason, they waste their lives away drinking and eating and sleeping around, just like in the days before the great flood.
On the other hand, those who follow Jesus are pleased to live by the righteousness of faith, enjoying the peace that comes from faith and the joy of the Holy Spirit.
