This is the make or break of the knowing of God. Unfortunately, this is a requirement of God that many are ignorant of, and so have remained at that basic level of knowing God, without an encounter.
The level many believers are today, the level of, yes we have a God who is holy, we know Him as holy God, but then all we know of Him is that, He is the God of holiness above in heaven that is the end.
The temples of God, our bodies that we adorn with clothing and jewelry have also become the proverbial “whitewashed tombs.” A thoughtful look at 2 Corinthians 6:16 and 17 throws more light on this matter of holiness and purity, “16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols For we are the temple of the living God, as God has said, “ I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people 17 therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing and I will receive you, will be a father to you and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
In the above scripture, Apostle Paul taught the people of Corinth that every believer is a temple of the living God, that believers as the temple of God should have nothing to do with idols and reminded them of how God has promised to live in and walk amongst His temples (His people). Assuring them that He will be their God and they, 'clean temples' will be His people.
Not many today qualify as temples for God to walk in and live in because they have refused to come out from them, idolatry and the likes.
This is one of the mysteries of God we quickly embraced, but struggled to live. Not because it is difficult to obey as we found out, but the fact that, the enemy has a conscious effort to keep humanity, especially believers contaminated through his numerous physical and spiritual agents, so that they do not get to the level of purity unto knowing God.
“It is well with you as you worship Me in holiness, for without holiness no man can see God, so it is attainable; for it is the only way to see God.
Everywhere in My word points to this and so as you strive for holiness, striving for holiness by the power of the Holy Spirit, who has inputted righteousness to men, then you are able to attain it.
For many have decided that it is Jesus alone who can be holy, so they leave that subject alone. For the Spirit of God helps a mortal man to attain Holiness by teaching the spirit of that mortal man, the mysteries of the kingdom of God and the values of the kingdom of God.
Therefore, holiness is attainable just as a man strives for victory, because that one has been made more than a conqueror by the Love of Christ through the Holy Spirit.
The bible says you need to work out your salvation, for righteousness has been given to all men but holiness you have to work out and so if there is a chance to see the Lord your God through holiness then you have to strive for it.
And so it is well with you, it is just a little teaching, not that you do not know about it. Since it is necessary, My Spirit is there to teach you about Holiness for He alone can teach Holiness.
Whoever decides to be a doctor will have to learn from the one who has the knowledge and know how and strive to be that doctor; exactly so, is Holiness. Oh, that men will strive and seek for Holiness for it is the Will of God.
Men must seek the help of the teacher who is full of absolute holiness; He alone can impute and teach holiness that would make men see God. Holiness is attainable says the Lord.”
