HOLINESS, Without Which No Man Shall See The Lord

 “...HOLINESS, 

without which 

no man shall see the Lord:” 

— Hebrews 12:14 (KJV)

That phrase kept waking me up several times Saturday morning.  I would roll over, go back to sleep, only to hear that phrase waking me up again and again (at least 6 times). 

Holiness means 'purification; the state of purity; a purifier.' (strong's G38)

Because it is written - in other words, because God gave us instruction - we are to be holy just as He is holy.

1 Peter 1:15-16 

¹⁵ BUT AS HE which hath called you 

IS HOLY, 

so BE YE HOLY 

in all manner of conversation; (behavior)

¹⁶ Because it is written, 

BE YE HOLY; 

FOR I AM HOLY.

Holiness IS important to God - without Holiness (without purity within and without),  no man shall see the Lord. (Heb 12:14)
