"There must be a divorce between you and sin, or there can be no marriage between you and Christ."
Simplified meaning
To understand this, think about two friendships. If you want to be close friends with a good person who is kind and honest, you can't keep being friends with someone who always gets you into trouble and makes bad choices. Similarly, if you want a strong, good relationship with Christ, which means living a life of love, honesty, and doing the right thing, you can't keep doing bad things (sinning). Just like you choose good friends over bad ones, you have to choose a good, honest life to be close to Christ. For example, if someone wants to be healthy, they have to stop unhealthy habits like smoking or eating junk food; otherwise, they won't achieve their health goals. So, to live a life connected to Christ, you're advised to give up bad actions and habits.
