Hebrews 12:14 KJV

1 Peter 1:15-16 KJV
Holiness comes by faith, love, and walking after the Spirit. Holiness is not a means of earning salvation but a result of Salvation.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Hebrews 12:10 KJV
If we truly love God, we will obey God's commandments. Without love, all attempts to live for God are in vain. When we truly love God, we will actively hate evil and we will seek to become like our Holy God. Love will draw us closer to God then the law will, both in attitudes and disciplined living.
