How do we know that holiness is important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Holiness is essential for Christians as it reflects the character of God and is required for acceptance with Him.

The importance of holiness for Christians is emphasized in many scriptures that declare God's holiness and the necessity for His people to reflect that holiness. Hebrews 12:14 states that without holiness, no one will see the Lord, indicating that holiness is crucial for true communion with God. Furthermore, Leviticus repeatedly commands God's people to be holy, reinforcing the idea that holiness distinguishes the elect from the rest of humanity. Holiness is not merely an ethical standard but a profound testimony of our relationship with God, for it manifests the transformative work of Christ in our lives, calling us to live in a manner worthy of our calling.
