"Am I right? Is there more? Too much?"

1. God is holy. We are not.

You were made holy at the point of salvation.

Col 3:12  So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

Heb 3:1  Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession;

1Pe 2:9  But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

2. We must prepare our hearts for the Kingdom of God- the way of the Lord. We can't.

The Father puts us in the Kingdom at the point of salvation.

Col 1:13  For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,

4. We aren't like Him at all. Repent.

The Father makes us like The Son at the point of salvation.

1Jo 4:17  By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.

5. Keep looking at Christ, and do what He did. Love others. Stand back and let God be God.

Let The Word of God and The Holy Spirit produce it's fruit in you as you rest in Him.

Gal 5:5  For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

Col 1:3  We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Col 1:4  since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints;
Col 1:5  because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel
Col 1:6  which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth;
