It hurts to know that there are many people in this world believing that you can *SEE THE LORD* with the exemption of holiness. Celebrities who've lived sinful, GODless lives are exalted because of their platform and talent, vs. their character and faith. And when these sinners die, we automatically place them in Heaven. They can do no wrong in our eyes because when they entertained us, they made us feel good. We got chills. Some of us passed out even. Sinful celebrities have been idolized and worshipped. And through idolatry, deception has power-driven itself in the hearts of many. And now we're to the point where all we want is GOD's love and grace without a drop of HIS holiness. Many don't feel holiness to be necessary. But Scripture states that it is very necessary. So necessary that we cannot see the LORD without it. GOD wants us holy. 

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:" -1 Peter 2:9
