How does God's holiness affect our relationship with Him?

Answered in 1 source

God's holiness necessitates a clean and pure approach to Him, which is made possible through the blood of Christ.

God's holiness is an integral part of His nature, forbidding any sin to dwell in His presence. Isaiah 59:2 indicates that sin separates us from God, making it impossible to commune with Him while unclean. However, through the sacrificial death of Jesus, believers are cleansed from all unrighteousness, allowing them to approach God confidently. Hebrews 10:19 encourages us to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, underscoring that it is only through Christ's redemptive work that we can have an intimate relationship with our holy God. The awareness of His holiness should prompt believers to regard their conduct seriously and pursue sanctification, reflecting His purity in their lives.
