Great concerned and practice to virtues of right behavior will always lead to holiness.
We may say, you have the guidance of the supreme being, otherwise you don`t have the courage, strong will doing these good virtues of good morality in the midst of insulting/mocking/ sarcastic society (due to the influence of evil)
Whereas, if you`re steadfast with your belief...holding on well to God`s love and hope...then YOURS is the Kingdom of God.

Morality and holiness are two different things. There are those who are considered "holy" that are shown to be immoral, and there are those who are moral that may not be considered holy. Certainly to live a moral life is a good thing; "holiness" is not required for morality to exist.

To live a "holy" life and a "moral" life is the same thing. If you are loving, forgiving, chaste, faithful and follow all the examples of loving actions first told to the Israelis and perfected by Christ than you live a holy life. The second statement tells that faith in God and a holy/ moral life is possible for all people, Jews and Gentiles (the rest).

One who lives a moral life is living be the moral code, which is the 10 commandments. and Holiness is what God Himself has said for us to be, 'Be ye Holy as I am Holy.'

Hi, Morality is what lifts us above the savage animal,and is the means to healthy social interaction among peoples, for instance historians agree that sexual immorality is the precursor to the break down of nations as has been demonstrated by some of the earlier civilizations,i.e Babylonians,Romans etc, and so as holiness demands that morals be pure then all who live according to decent human morals can more readily become holy as well.

To meit means that if you live a moral life it is also a holy life and that is what God wants from us all. He wants us to live a Holy life life so that we are moral and just. Perfection does not truly and totally exist here on earth but we are to strive for tha and in doing so we lead the type of life that is pleasaing to God.

Holiness helps keep morals in check. Since high moral standards help people live more peacefully, holiness should be a goal for everyone.

God is holy and there is no holiness and morals without God. All have sinned and fallen short of His holiness. Christ calls all people to repent and recieve his holiness which when one does it conforms that person into his image and allows them to live a holy life.

The state or character of being holy. Holiness means “religious cleanness or purity; sacredness.” Also, the original Hebrew qo´dhesh conveys the thought of separateness, exclusiveness, or sanctification to God, who is holy; a state of being set aside to the service of God. In the Christian Greek Scriptures, the words rendered “holy” (ha´gi·os) and “holiness” (ha·gi·a·smos´ [also, “sanctification”]; ha·gi·o´tes; ha·gi·o·sy´ne) likewise denote separation to God; they also are used to refer to holiness as a quality of God and to purity or perfection in one’s personal conduct.
Christian Holiness. The Leader of Christians, the Son of God, when born as a human, was holy (Lu 1:35), and he maintained that sanctification, or holiness, throughout his earthly life. (Joh 17:19; Ac 4:27; Heb 7:26) This holiness was thorough, perfect, filling his every thought, word, and action. By maintaining his holiness even to a sacrificial death, he made it possible for others to attain holiness. Consequently, those called to be his footstep followers are called with “a holy calling.” (2Ti 1:9) They become Jehovah’s anointed ones, the spiritual brothers of Jesus Christ, and are called “holy ones” or “saints.” (Ro 15:26; Eph 1:1; Php 4:21; compare KJ.) They receive holiness by faith in the ransom sacrifice of Christ. (Php 3:8, 9; 1Jo 1:7) Holiness, then, does not inhere in them, or belong to them, through their own merit, but it comes to them through Jesus Christ.—Ro 3:23-26.
