'Without holiness you can not see the LORD.'Heb12:14
(1)What is holiness?
From the Christian prospective, and I am sure that is what you want, Holiness is to be like God.
(2)how can we obtain it or achieve it in our life?
We cant, not by our own efforts. But the Christian believes that it is faith in Christ that obtains it for us. Christ became the sacrifice of blood that paid the price of redemption. If you believe in that sacrifice you become part of it.
(3) can one live by the law of GOD and obtain holiness.?
No. The Law is a mirror that shows us our sin and our failure. That does not mean we should abandon it but we should try, as best as our poor efforts allow, to follow the Law. One follows it not to obtain salvation but because that is what one does. Christ becomes the fulfillment of the Law, not the destroyer of it.
The truth would be greatly appreciated.
The truth is, the true depends on which religion you follow. However, many religions embrace many of the same ides - brotherhood of man, treating people with fairness and so on.
Christians believe in Christ and his work on the cross. If you believe it a change comes over your life. Good deeds spring from you as naturally as apples from an apple tree. Evil is avoided as it would cheapen the sacrifice. You don’t do good to become good - you just become good. “By their fruits you will know them.”
