What does the Bible say about peace and holiness?

In Hebrews 12:14, it says to 'follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.' This highlights the importance of understanding that our peace with God is a result of Christ’s finished work and not our own actions. Holiness, in this context, refers to being set apart and made acceptable to God through Christ alone. It underscores that our acceptance before God does not depend on our personal righteousness but on the righteousness of Christ imputed to us.
