Why the main idea of the OT and NT is RIGHTEOUSNESS/holiness/godliness?

Why God commands us to live a HOLY life?
Why He says: Be HOLY for I am HOLY.

Because GOD is HOLY, and we aught to be HOLY like Him.

"Follow peace with all men, and holiness without which no man can see the LORD" Hebrews 12:14

Holiness, Righteousness, and Truth is the believers flight to heaven.

Right, brother.

Unfortunately our churches do not teach that but God TEACHES us that in the Holy Bible.

Thanks sister Versavia!

My church here in Nigeria teaches holiness as GOD thought us in the Bible.
Remember the gospel of our LORD JESUS according to the book of Matthew chapter 24 verse number 12
"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
Matthew 24 says it all.

Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy

1 Timothy 4:1 KJV

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Right. Thank you.
May God bless you in your life abundantly.

Amen...!!! And bless you too Versavia.

QUESTION -
Why are multitudes hardened to gospel of holiness, righteousness and truth?
ANSWER -
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not,
Lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
Who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 4 : 3 - 4

Right. May God bless you with a wonderful christian wife and use you during all days of your life.

Amen...!!! And if I be a servant of GOD, whatever you've been asking GOD all this while that you've not been able to receive, or your prayers that have not been answered, The ALMIGHTY GOD whom I serve will answer you and grant you your heart desire. That problems in your life must be solved in the Name of JESUS! Amen...!!!

Thank you for your good wishes.

You're blessed!
