Nobody is holy except God. We are taught to follow Jesus and His teaching but no man can live up to it; that's why Jesus was sacrificed for our sins.

Holiness means religious purity and cleanness. God told the Israelites that they were to be a holy nation, in other words, they had to be set apart spiritually from the surrounding nations in that they were not to worship other Gods and they were to follow the laws which God had given them. For Christians, we are also told in 1 Peter 1:16 that we must be holy.
So, yes if you are a true christian, holiness is something to be strived for.

We are not required to be holy. Only one is holy and that is GOD. By our very sinful nature we cannot be holy. We must daily battle sin and ask forgiveness.

Define holy. Most church people don't even know what the word means. So define it. Before you get a whole bunch of kinky answers.
