How can we attain holiness?

Answered in 1 source

Holiness is attained through a vital union with Christ and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

To attain holiness, one must start by coming to Christ, who is the source of holiness. As stated in John 15:5, 'Without me ye can do nothing.' A true union with Christ through faith allows the believer to partake in His divine nature, helping them to live a life that reflects holiness. The work of sanctification is undertaken by the Holy Spirit, and thus, continuous dependence on Him through prayer and the study of scripture is essential. As believers abide in Christ, they will naturally produce the fruit of holiness in their lives, as Paul encourages us in Colossians 2:6-7.
