I would argue that God *does* require us to live sinlessly.
But we've each failed.
So God came to earth to live sinlessly for us, and then paid the penalty for not living sinlessly. His right-ness, and his penalty-payment, both become ours, as a gift from him. Our job now is to strive to emulate him in his sinlessness, knowing we're still going to fail. Our best right-ness is as filthy rags before him. But the more of his spirit we have within us, the better we'll get at living sinlessly.
