Again in Ephesians when we learn that God "chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy." And in the last chapter of the last book of the Bible we learn that we are to "still be holy". Our calling to be holy is a challenging one, but living the "normal" alternative often leads to frustration, disappointment, and empty overindulgence.
